​

This unique person-friendly approach tackles  obstacles facing most people in becoming a better birder. From preparing for an outing to finding and identifying birds, learn processes which allow you greater freedom and skill to recognise and retain new bird groups and species. We tackle the identification of  difficult bird groups and species pairs.  

​

This course reviews birding resources and equipment (field guides, apps, binoculars, apps, speakers, scopes). Learn new ways to go birding - the use of photography, atlassing, listing, garden birding, local bird guides, birding communities. We delve further into bird vocals. The practical options shown  will  bring your more rewards and fire your passion for birding.
