Camping in the Abel Tasman โค๏ธ

Help out this great project @projectjanszoon  are running.

Robin (kakaruai or toutouwai) are making a comeback in the Abel Tasman National Park. After an absence of about 30 years theyโ€™re now being seen occasionally on the coast track. 
 
Project Janzoon have just launched their citizen science project โ€“ Report a robin โ€“ in order to get people telling us about their robin sightings, and talking about the wonderful birdlife in the Park.
 
If you have been or about to go in the park report your sightings via the Abel Tasman App โ€“ Have you seen this section ; or via www.janszoon.org/reportarobin ;  Jot down the nearest trap number, looking for the numbered triangles.
