Love Bittern!
About
Love Bittern! is a species-led project which provides community conservation groups with the tool to be able to record bittern and wetland monitoring records. Once your bittern data is entered you are able to look at this in a map view to see where your bittern are located. By switching to the heatmap you will be able to determine where calls are more frequently heard or bittern more frequently sighted. If you are using human active listening all of your field sheet information can be entered straight into the app, saving data entry and mapping. You will then be able to determine the number of individual birds by looking at the map which triangulates the position of the bittern for you. The WETMAK forms, which are sourced from NZ Landcare Trust, are free to use for groups who are part of this project.
