Conducting bird surveys might seem like a daunting task. You might think you need a degree, extensive ecological knowledge, and exceptional identification skills to partake in science, yet Birdata is here to make your bird surveying journey easy. With our upcoming  eLearning course we will walk you step-by-step through our Birdata survey methods. You can start with a simple bird list as you begin to learn about the birds in your backyard and neighbourhood or get straight into a standardised scientific survey. 

For many volunteers, submitting Birdata surveys is a way to do what they love doing – watching birds – while contributing to their protection. Through completing surveys, volunteers can improve their identification skills, create a keener ear for birdsong, and foster an awareness of the behaviours of species around them.
