Organiser: Right, some of you have expressed an interest in taking part in this year’s bird count. The bird
count is really useful … it tells us which native birds are doing well, or if their numbers are declining – and
we can also find out if there are any new species of birds – birds that don’t normally inhabit the woods.
So, if you decide to take part in the bird count, there are a few things you need to do.
Nowadays, people don’t tend to record what they see on paper. It’s all done through a mobile app. To get
one of those,
you’ll need to go online and find a website like e-Bird or NestWatch. If you’ve never
signed up with them before, register your details,
Q15
and they’ll send a mobile app to your phone.
Once you’ve got that sorted,
you need to consider exactly where you’re going to count the birds.
Q16
You might decide to spend the day, say, just in a single field – or you might want to cover a wider
area. It’s up to you. Stay away from privately owned land – because you’d need to get authorisation for
that. Um, the next thing to do
is get some other people to come along and help you
Q17
– a group that
are also interested in birds ...and er, that are capable of using the technology. Yes, because, by yourself,
it’s easy to miss the birds that might be in the trees behind you. Then, on the day of the bird count,
you
need to give all your helpers a print out
Q18
– showing pictures of the birds you’re hoping to see.
The pictures should be clear enough so people can really distinguish between similar looking species –
so yes, the document should be in colour, really. Also remind people that the bird count is not a race to
find the most birds possible. It’s supposed to be a group effort, with everyone staying in the same place.
What else? OK, at the end of the day, once all the counting’s been finished, get together with the rest of
the group. How many birds of one species has everyone seen? Compare notes. It doesn’t really matter
if your totals are slightly different.
