The Ornithological Society of NZ, Department of Conservation, Christchurch City Council, Environment Canterbury, Ngai Tahu and Waihora Ellesmere Trust are joining forces to undertake a bird count of the Lake on Saturday February 9th. And we’re looking for volunteers to help on the day.

We’re looking for keen, committed and fit people to join one of 8 teams to identify and count all the wetland birds. Experience of bird identification and counting would be great, but keen beginners are also welcome.

If you’re interested in getting involved and would like more information please contact Bev Alexander, ph 03 313 7009, or email birdiebev@xtra.co.nz.
