Thank you so much to everyone who completed and returned their survey. We're delighted to announce Shona D was the winner of the Bird Prize pack draw.

We look forward to seeing you next year to participate again!


Would you like to participate in some citizen science?

Drop by Huia Lodge Discovery Hub from the 13th to the 28th of April to collect a Cornwall Park bird survey, and count our bird life for one hour.

Return your survey to Huia Lodge to add your count and enter the draw to win a bird theme prize pack.

This activity is suitable for all ages, though younger children may need assistance from an adult.

Together we can build a record of the birdlife in the park and use this information as an indicator to see how the whole ecosystem is doing. A survey and a 'how to' guide is provided.

Saturday 13th to Sunday 28th April

Collect your survey from Huia Lodge Discovery Hub between 10am and 4pm (next to the Cornwall Park Bistro).
