Map arrows indicate change from the previous monitoring cycle to the current cycle when “Change from years 1-5 to 6-10” is selected. Increases and decreases are shown when the change in percentage of indigenous species is greater than 10%.
When a single cycle is selected, darker shades of blue indicate higher proportions of indigenous birds than exotic, while darker shades of red indicate predominantly exotic birds. The number of different species recorded are shown as text over each site with the size of the circles scaled proportionally. Higher numbers of species imply more bird biodiversity in that monitoring area.
Gaps in the sampling grid could be for Lake Wairarapa, access being refused to some plots on private land, and plots being decommissioned; see the overview map for locations and the methods page for monitoring details.

Click the box on the top left ( ) to open a selection window on the map that can be dragged and resized to filter the table data below to sites in the selected area.
