The Australian Bird Count, Australia's largest citizen science event, has seen over a million birds counted this week by participants who have been observing backyard birds. The event, running until Friday, saw 64,000 bird enthusiasts contribute 5 million data points last year. University of Sydney students are currently digitising the extensive field notes, photographs, and drawings of Michael Sharland, who wrote under the alias 'Peregrine'. Sharland, a naturalist active in the early 20th century, documented birdlife across Australia in over 30 field diaries, 2,600 photographic negatives, and 1,600 prints. His work has been invaluable to researchers tracking bird populations and understanding breeding patterns. Sharland's unique approach to documenting nature included transforming his field observations into engaging stories for newspapers like The Sydney Morning Herald, where he advocated for national park expansion and highlighted urban bird conservation. One of his most notable achievements was helping to record the lyrebird's complex vocalizations in 1931 by running a mile-long wire into the bush, which helped protect the species from extinction due to hunting for their tail feathers. The students involved in digitising Sharland's work, many majoring in fields like medicine and computer science, are gaining new insights into the importance of observing and understanding the natural world, drawing parallels between ecological observation and medical practice. The Australian Museum is leading the digitisation effort, with the aim of making Sharland's century-old records accessible for future research and public engagement.
