Garden Birds Survey in New Zealand
Garden bird surveys have been conducted regularly in many countries around the world, some of them for many years. Here in Australia there are several variations on this theme. The surveys in Canberra gardens have been going for over 20 years, I believe. (Readers – please correct me if I’m wrong by leaving a comment.)
Birders in New Zealand have not been able to contribute to such a scheme – until now. Over this coming week the Gardens Birds Survey is being conducted in New Zealand. For the first time it is being conducted across the whole country.

I and the Bird #51 Sweepstakes
I quite often feature a link to the carnival called I and the Bird. I usually contribute to this carnival as well but I missed the deadline last week. Never mind.
The latest edition has been posted over at The Bird Chaser. It never ceases to amaze me how creative the hosts of this carnival can be. This time, if you read every article, you can enter a competition. Only wished I had the time to enter.
Here is the link: I and the Bird #51 – read, and enjoy, and good luck.

The latest edition of Birds in the News has been posted. It has links to many articles about birds in the news from around the world. It worth visiting just for the lovely photo of a Yellow-eyed Junco.
One of the more bizarre items is a link to an article giving details of how nightingale poo is being used as a beauty aid to treat wrinkles.
