Tui on flax

Numbers of birds in an area tell us a lot about the use and health of an environment.

This activity can be used when visiting sites that have a variety of bird species.

This resource gives students the opportunity to count and record information about birds in an area. This information can then be interpreted back at school and lead onto valuing and action activities.
