Berry Head Bird Identification 2 day Course -

16-17 May

Berry Head

Improve your bird identification skills with local expert Mike Langman. This two day course corresponding with the busy spring migration period of the year will be a mixture of indoor and outdoor activities. The first day concentrating on visual identification, bird families, taking notes, birdwatching resources and optical equipment and of course putting it all into practice in the field. Up to 80% of ‘birdwatching’ in a woodland is using your ears so day two will be learning to identifying birds by calls and song. During the afternoon we will be making the most of Berry Head National Nature Reserve with a short introduction into how to watch and identify seabirds. There will be shorter more advanced bird identification events in the autumn for both seabird watching and migrants.
