My Garden Bird Watch 2010

Held on the 5th and 6th of June this year, many bird enthusiasts participated on a voluntarily basis to do a 30-minute count or 'banci' on number of birds found at our own neighbourhood/garden/backyard etc......

A survey will be carried out to tally the numbers. This is to better understand these species of birds and see where they strive and also for conservation purposes (whether there's a dramatic change/decline in the numbers) .

Results will be released in July at http://www.mygardenbirdwatch.com/index.php

Survey date: 6th June 2010
Time: 5.20 pm - 5:50 pm (only 30 mins)
