The South Island Robin (Info report)

The South Island Robin.

18th June 2019.

Hi friends! Welcome to my blog!. Today I have got a blog on the South Island Robin. why this?. In New Zealand, we have got a wide range of birds so I decided why not I write something on one of Nz's endangered birds, The South Island Robin. Plus yesterday we were given a task in our ESOL class to research on the South Island Robin. We were provided with some links to guide us through the research process. There were many sites telling multiple information, this made it really hard to assess the correct information. The information I was looking for was where the South Island robin lives, what it eats, what are the characteristics of it, how does it breed and how long their life span is.  Between all those sites I chose 3 that I think had all the information I needed. 

Heres a link to it
All the sites have a huge amount of data on the South Island Robin. This is why I am going to show a comparison of these three sites to make sure we are using accurate information. Above all, I found out that all the sites have slightly different data on the bird. Furthermore, most of them have a lot of information while others have few or less information on. Those have less information tend to answer the basics about the South Island Robin. And those with plenty have either deeper knowledge on the bird or they have unnecessary information. 

Wilderness magazine
This talks about the bird in the South Island. However, the data on the bird is more of an opinion than a report. this is because I saw a common difference in all of them was the breeding system. They all had 5-6 days difference in the breeding processes. The site does not have enough information on the bird to help me to write a report.


Wiki
This is a common site used by everyone. This has a lot of information on the bird. Although this site details on the bird, the barrier is that it can be edited by anyone all over the world, therefore, it can give undetermined knowledge.


NZ Birds Online 
I think that the NZ Birds online has a huge amount of data on the South Island Robin. This is amazing because it only talks about the South Island robin and its particulars. it also gives evidence on the information I needed.  And I can write an information report basing on this website.
