This 2-session course familiarises you with the 52 species of waders you are most likely to encounter in southern Africa. It includes sandpipers, snipes, plovers, lapwings, oystercatchers, stilt, avocet, coursers and thick-knees. All resident species and regular migrants to southern Africa are included. Also included are the most frequently recorded rarities compared to similar common species.

 

Waders with Aldo uses the protocols and techniques established in other Birding with Aldo courses: 2 step-approach using GISS (jizz); Top Bottom and Middle and with a new technique for remembering flight patterns. The course is interactive: we use polls, chat room and discussion in comparative and repetitive presentations to embed species characters.
