This is the data from the 2018 New Zealand Garden Bird Survey (NZGBS), a citizen science project where participants count the maximum number of birds seen or heard in a survey area of their choice for one hour. The survey has been held annually since 2007 and runs for 9 days in late June/early July. Note: this dataset contains additional variables using the measurement or fact extension (details about feeding birds (whether the observer feeds birds, the type of food fed, whether birds were fed in the survey area, whether birds were fed during the survey), whether there is a bird bath in the survey area, vegetation present in the survey area). These variables are visible when you view the details of a record. If you wish to use these variables you may need to download this dataset directly from our IPT installation.
