Which Counter Are You?

What level birder are you?

Pick the answer that best describes your level of birding experience.

I’m a beginner birder – I’m more of a bird noticer than a birdwatcher.

I’m an intermediate birder – I’m fully-fledged but I still have a lot to learn!

I’m an advanced birder – I’m a bird nerd and proud!

Why do you do count?

How many times will you count?

What's the Aussie Bird Count?

I’ll do a few practice counts, but I’ll probably forget to submit them.

I’ll count at least once (just so I can say I did it!)

I’ll try and count a few times, wherever I can find time.

I’ll be counting every lunch break!

As many times as I can – I want to count the most birds!

I don’t need to count! I’ll be doing 2-ha x 20 min surveys on Birdata instead.
