There is still time, but not a lot, to be part of Landcare Research and Forest and Bird’s annual Garden Bird Survey. This survey gives our wonderful scientists data to monitor the distribution and population trends of common garden birds in New Zealand. All you need to do is:
•    Watch birds in your garden for 1 hour (1 hour only please) sometime between the survey dates.
•    For each species you see or hear, record the largest number detected at any one time (that is, at the same time) within the hour.
•    Complete a survey form, either online (preferred) or on paper
If you would like to participate you can get more info here
