Hi, as notified in today's Birdlife Australia newsletter, details at
http://aussiebirdcount.org.au/
Celebrate National Bird Week 2014 by taking part in the biggest citizen
science project to hit Aussie shores. From 20-26 October, thousands of
people from across the country are heading out into their backyards,
local parks or favourite open spaces to take part in the first ever
AUSSIE BACKYARD BIRD COUNT!
To get involved all you need is 20 minutes and some keen eyesight (or
binoculars). And it doesn’t matter if you’re a novice or an expert —
we’ll be there to help you out along the way. Simply record the birds
you know and look up those you don’t on our new Aussie Bird Count app
(free download available in October) or our website. You’ll instantly
see live statistics and information on how many people are taking part
near you and the number of birds and species counted not just across
your neighbourhood but the whole of Australia.
Not only will you get to know your feathered friends, but you’ll be
contributing to a vital pool of information from across the nation that
will help us see how Australian birds are faring. Birds are unique
indicators of environmental health. If they are doing well, then so are we.
So get your friends and family together, head into the great outdoors
and start counting!
