Raptors with Aldo
A guide to 68 South African raptors
Raptors are difficult. A typical birding course is a series of species
images and ID characters that can overload the senses and drain
the joy out of birding!
Our course emphasizes process against detail; principles versus
individual species.
We use our successful 2 step identification protocols, which
combined with comparative work, games and self identification
exercises (repetitive to embed memory) turns a daunting task,
turns into an enjoyable session of learning.
Course Price
R375 for all 3 sessions for one person, R525 for 2 people or more.
For pensioners the cost is R275 for one person and R375
for 2 or more.
Course outline
Three 75-90 minute sessions as shown below:
Session 1. Principles of raptor ID – falcons & kestrels
Session 2. Vultures and eagles
Session 3. Buzzards, Goshawks, Harriers and other fantastic raptors
The course includes detailed presentations, links to recordings of each session which are available for 7 days, and permanent low-res pdfs at the end of the course for reference.
I offer an interactive and relaxed experience in small groups which supports learning.
