It's been a busy day for the Rangitoto cloud! ☁️
A strong area of high pressure overhead is acting like a cap & preventing it from growing big & tall 🤓

How well do you know your Māori bird names?
Do you know your kea from your kākā? Your tūī from your tiu?
Challenge yourself & see how you get on! » » buff.ly/42J3WIU

So what's it like participating in the New Zealand Garden Bird Survey? In 2020 we decided to to find out, and surveyed the particpants. A whopping 78% responded to say their bird knowledge had really taken off.

Today we hit 1,500 beach surveys! 📋
Litter Intelligence surveys are essential in our fight against ocean pollution. The more data we have, the better-targeted actions we can make.
Ngā mihi to the fantastic citizen scientists who contributed to make this milestone a reality 👏

Our online survey is still running - bit.ly/OCHSurvey and we need NZ teachers to have their say about the science and technology resources you want access to on the new Online Curriculum Hub (Replacing TKI).
We would LOVE it if you could complete the survey and retweet!

Thinking about your science programme for 2023?
Check out our Teacher PLD section: bit.ly/PLDScience
It's full of ideas and support for primary and secondary levels (and some ECE). And if you get stuck - reach out to us for help.

Teachers - can your students do impressions of our native birds? Show them this video for an afternoon of squawking fun! #BOTY

#WATCH We had Bird of the Year campaign managers fight for their birds this week.
Of course, we also asked them to do an impression.
Here's Jacques de Satge on behalf of the Moho pererū, Frances Wright for the Kārearea , and Tītī campaigner Ariel Heswell giving it a shot.
