Request for photos
Has any body got any photos of birds feeding in their gardens.
The committee is going to publish some information regarding native plants which provide food for bird during the winter.
If you can get out into your gardens and take some photos of birds feeding this may help.
We will look forward to your reply, just send them to info@upppercthaforestandbird.org.nz

Garden Bird Survey Results
SPARROWS BEAT SILVEREYES
House sparrows have claimed the top spot in early results from this year’s Garden Bird Survey, pushing silvereyes off the highest perch. Silvereye numbers have dropped from 10.2 per garden last year to 8.4 this year.
Chaffinches, tui and dunnocks (or hedge sparrows) are more common this year, survey organiser Eric Spurr says. Greenfinches, song thrushes and goldfinches are less common, with goldfinches not making it in to the top10 this year.
About half the results are still to be entered so the totals could change. During the July 12-20 survey, organised by Landcare Research, people sent details of birds seen in their gardens.
