不知不覺麻雀普查已經踏入第四年了,快來加入我們吧!
過去一年,大家有沒有留意到身邊的樹麻雀生活得如何呢?繼2018年錄得麻雀數量比前兩年減少了一成半,今年我們需要繼續借助大家的「眼力」和「體力」,一起收集關於香港麻雀的資料和數據,親身到香港十八區不同地方,觀察記錄大家都「熟悉」的麻雀。
是次普查可讓我們了解樹麻雀在香港的分布和選巢傾向,收集基礎數據以監察麻雀的群落趨勢。貫徹三年的麻雀普查方式,希望市民都能親身參與我們當中,進行鳥類研究,提供一個機會為有興趣的大眾進行訓練和實行調查工作。市民既可以參與科學研究,又可以享受觀鳥的樂趣,一舉兩得!
快些約埋三五知己或家人朋友組隊,報名成為我們今年的麻雀普查員吧!

Time flies and here comes Hong Kong Sparrow Census again for the fourth year! Come join us!
Do the Tree Sparrows living around you having a great life in the past year? Did you notice them? We recorded a 15% decrease in the local population of Tree Sparrow last year. We would need to have both your “eyes” and “legs” to obtain information and data about the bird again. The public will go out to observe and record our “friend”, sparrow, around 18 different districts all over Hong Kong.
This census allows us to learn about distribution and nesting preference of sparrows in Hong Kong. Gathering long-term basal information helps us to monitor population trend of the sparrows. Similar to the census in past three years, we would like to have the general public to be part of us carrying out bird research. The census provides the interested a chance to get necessary training and to contribute to a survey. While participating in a scientific research, you can also enjoy bird watching for fun! How nice, isn’t it?
Do come and form your own group and apply to be our surveyors!
