Got a birdbath? Bathing Birds Project is looking for citizen scientists

National Parks Association of New South Wales (NPA) in partnership with Birds in Backyards and The University of Sydney are seeking participants for an exciting new citizen science initiative: Bathing Birds. In this initiative we will be exploring which birds are using bird baths and how our gardening habitats are influencing which birds are present.

The project will run from Friday the 27th of June until Sunday the 27 of July and we will run the project again in January to compare differences in birds using the bath. To take part all you need is a birdbath that you can monitor for 20 minutes up to 3 times a week

If you are already registered as a citizen scientist with NPA please contact Dr. Gráinne Cleary at grainnec@npansw.org.au. If you are new to NPA citizen science, go to www.bathingbirds.org.au to sign up!

On Sunday 22 June, 10am – noon Project Coordinator Dr Grainne Cleary will present on current National Parks Association (NSW) programs and partnerships including Bathing Birds and Great Koala Count at the Belmont Neighbourhood Centre, 359 Pacific Highway, Belmont North

Bookings are essential to Council on 4921 0333.
