Here are my bird results for this year's NZ #GardenBirdSurvey. This is the maximum number of each bird species I saw or heard at one time during the hour.
60 silvereyes (approximately, seen and calling, at our sugar water feeders and in our flowering Eucalyptus tree)
20 house sparrows (approximately, seen and calling)
5 korimako (NZ bellbird)
4 blackbirds
2 piwakawaka (calling nearby)
2 black-backed gulls (flying by)
1 dunnock (heard calling)
1 starlingA song thrush started singing a minute after I finished, so it doesn't get in this year. No kererū this time, unfortunately, although there was one perched in our garden yesterday.
The Garden Bird Survey doesn't take photos so I'm about to load those onto #iNaturalist. Here are four of them.

I'm heading out into our garden, with my woolly hat on, to do my 1-hour bird count for this year's NZ #GardenBirdSurvey.
The last day for the 2025 survey is today.

Final results: Piwakawaka (fantail), tiu (sparrows), Tauhou (Silvereyes), warou (welcome swallow), maina (Indian myna), manu pango (blackbirds), karoro (black-backed gulls) and kererū aropari (feral rock pigeons)
Main difference to previous years - no starlings!

It's the last day of the New Zealand Garden Bird Survey. I just did mine: silvereyes, korimako, piwakawaka, blackbirds, starling, and house sparrow.
To participate in the survey, you just need to spend an hour in your garden and tally up the maximum number of each bird species you see or hear.
The Garden Bird Survey doesn't accept photos so I'm about to upload mine to #iNaturalist. That's a good way to confirm your IDs.

I just did my annual NZ #GardenBirdSurvey. It ends tomorrow, so you've still got time if you've not done yours yet.
It's just one hour in your garden, tallying up the maximum number of each bird species you've got.
Were there any korimako/NZ bellbirds in our garden, you might ask? Why yes. At least six at once, and singing up a storm. Have a listen!
