Want to be a part of Australia's biggest citizen science event? Take part in the Aussie Bird Count (October 19-25)! Now in its 13th year, the event brings Australians together to help track which bird populations are thriving and which may be in decline.

What do you need to do? Simply, spend 20 minutes in one spot noting the birds that you see. You will need to count the number of each species you spot. Submit your results via an online form or the Aussie Bird Count app. The app has a field guide to help with bird identification.

For more information visit https://aussiebirdcount.org.au/

Want to create a bird-friendly garden? There's still time to get the October issue of our magazine, full of tips on creating layered plantings for feathered friends.
