The NZ Garden Bird Survey 2023 is taking place between 24 June and 02 July 2023. One hour of your time will help researchers track trends in bird populations. The information from this survey helps inform conservation decisions and further research.
To do your bit:
- Select a garden, a local park or school grounds.
- Choose any ONE day between 24 June and 2 July, 2023.
- Look and listen for birds on that day for ONE hour.
- For each species, record the HIGHEST number seen or heard at one time.
- Submit the results online at the NZ Garden Bird Survey website - a link to the survey form will go live on the website home page from 24 June.
The Bird identification tools page is extremely helpful, with photos and birdsongs to help you identify what you see and hear.
