Monitoring results
What sort of monitoring is being carried out?
- All DOC staff, MEG members and contractors who are in the area will be recording any observations of robins. This will include robin song, contact calls and sightings. When possible, band combinations will be noted so locations of the 2009, 2011 and Moehau bred birds can be distinguished.
- Additional surveys will be carried out during the breeding season (November 2011 - February 2012) to establish which birds have paired and bred successfully. Results will be reported on this website.
You can help
If you live in the area, you can help by completing a robin report card (PDF, 293K) every time you see a robin. Full instructions for reading leg bands are given in the document.
