bLine #5: Bird of the Year

This week’s episode of bLine is about Bird of the Year. While many people may vote in Bird of the Year, not all of us are aware about its history, how the competition works, and how it benefits conservation efforts in Aotearoa. Before we get into it, bLine does not endorse any of the birds discussed today. Make your pick wisely.

Thanks to all of our guests, Senior Biodiversity Ranger at DOC Auckland, David Wilson, author Ellen Rykers, and songwriter and Bird of the Year campaigner, Claudia Robin Gunn. 

You can vote for your Bird of the Year here. 

Happy listening!
