Check out this helpful guide to find out how to submit bird surveys of your own using Birdata!

This data helps our researchers better understand where birds are found & how their populations are changing, which helps us protect them.

After hundreds of hours of collecting, sorting, identifying and photographing seashells, my comprehensive field guide 'Seashells of North Haven Beach' is finally out. Available now at https://t.co/T9blChmFGM, it's a must have for Australian beachcombers (I promise!)
