It is the biggest count in the event’s four year history and numbers are up almost 30 per cent on last year.
Communities across the Mid North Coast took part in the count and bird lovers shared some of their favourite photos in the lead up (scroll down to see all the photo galleries).
BirdLife Australia’s Sean Dooley believes the growing support for the Aussie Backyard Bird Count shows how passionate people are about their local birds. And this growing data set is helping BirdLife Australia to develop a clearer picture of what’s happening to Australian birds across the country.
“We all have a bird story and by sharing our observations we can all provide data for researchers to ascertain the health of Australia’s bird life right across country,” Mr Dooley said.
