New and former students most welcome.
Join us on this course aimed at beginners and those with limited experience.
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, starting on Thursday 1st October. The programme comprises three evening classroom-based sessions (7.00-9.00pm approx.) and three weekend morning outdoor sessions at Manx hot spots for birdwatching. (Please note that field trips are subject to weather conditions so some flexibility is required.)
