OSNZ Nest Count
G'day all,
OSNZ runs a nest recording scheme. This year we are being asked to record details of the earliest nests of blackbirds and thrushes. Recording forms can be downloaded from the OSNZ website www.osnz.org.nz
This website is well worth a look. Learn more about the birds in our immediate environment and how they fit into the wider picture of habitat health and even how they are indicators of the effects of global climate change. Taking part in activities like this nest count helps to build up a picture of the changes that are taking place.
Please contact Anthea Goodwin (09 4061533 or email bushcrank@actrix.co.nz) who will be very happy to offer any support and advice.
Details of nests found for any other species are of course also of interest.
DOC is able to provide a boat to reach Kokota Sandspit on Saturday 25 July for a wader count. Please let Detlef know - ph 09 4073874 or email detlefdavies@yahoo.co.nz if you would like to join us that day or that weekend.
Good birding,
Detlef, Far North RR
