Monitoring bird numbers help us to see tell if our trapping programme is successful. Each year volunteers carry out bird counts to determine the number of birds across the Sanctuary and the resulting movies (below) show bird-count heatmaps over time. The timeline across the top shows the year, with key dates giving an insight into the fluctuations of bird numbers. 2006: the establishment of the Sanctuary 2008: the predator proof fence was installed 2012: an intensive pest eradication programme began 2013: the Sanctuary was opened to the public Thanks to CatchIT Graphics, we can also see the number of pest species across the Sanctuary. Below is a link to the heat maps and graphs showing the number of rats, mice, stoats and possums caught.

This is good news because there are projects that are intended for the birds. The birds need these sanctuaries and they will surely protect these birds from harm. They are in need and the people that are supporting this project will be the one that is responsible and they should receive something so that they will feel appreciated. Birds can fly and they contribute to the balance of the ecosystem. Leave a Reply. |
