Join us on this special beginners’ bird identification course.
Following this year’s hugely enjoyable Spring programme, we’ve organised an Autumn bird identification course, starting 31 August 2017.
We’ll show you the basics of how to best observe birds, share hints and tips on how to recognize the main groups of birds and give you recommendations on which equipment and books to use.
Throughout the course you’ll get to know like-minded people with whom you’ll be able to share your interest and develop your knowledge further.
Tim Earl will be the course leader, supported by Manx BirdLife and members of the MOS, starting on Thursday 31st August and comprising three evening classroom-based sessions (7.00-9.00pm approx.) and three Sunday morning outdoor sessions at Manx hot spots for birdwatching. (Please note that field trips are subject to weather conditions so some flexibility is required.):
