JOIN THE BIG COUNT
This month join thousands of other
‘citizen scientists’ around Australia and identify and count your backyard
birds.
Birdlife Australia are asking Australians
to take part in a nation-wide count of the birds in your backyard in a survey
to assess the state of Australian birds from Oct 20-26 in what will become an
annual event.
A special app has been designed to allow
Aussies to enter their data or you can submit it on line at http://aussiebirdcount.org.au/
Not sure of what bird species are in your
yard, the app will try to help you identify them.
The Sunshine Coast local branch of
Birdlife is offering to help you learn to identify your local birds by holding bird
walks at a selection of local sites at 8am
on Saturday 25th Oct.
Short walks will be held at :-
