The Great Australian Bird Count

The Great Australian Bird Count is a citizen science initiative encouraging Australians to observe and record bird sightings over a specific period. Participants document the types and numbers of birds they see in their local areas, helping scientists gather valuable data on bird populations and behaviors. This collective effort improves understanding of bird diversity, distribution, and trends across Australia, supporting conservation efforts and promoting awareness of avian biodiversity. It's a practical way for everyone to contribute to environmental research, fostering a greater connection with local wildlife.
