This is the first session of a six-day course aimed at beginners and those with limited experience of birdwatching. 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.
The proceeds will be donated to Manx BirdLife. New and former students most welcome! Places are strictly limited so please book early to avoid disappointment. To reserve your place, please email jthompson@manx.net or telephone 428953
The ticket for whole course: £40.00 per person (including all seminars and field trips)
