How would you like to be able to identify the birds you see in your garden or at your local nature reserve? New to birdwatching or would you like to resume your hobby now that you have more time on your hands? By going out with a guide you will be able to gain or regain your confidence quickly and pick up where you left off. There are many ways to appreciate birds, from the casual observer to the enthusiastic “twitcher”, you decide. The main thing is that you enjoy yourself and have fun. There is always something new to learn or something different to see, no matter how many years you have been watching birds.
Beginners birdwatching classes cover the following subjects:-
- Binoculars: understanding the tools of the trade
- Choosing a good field guide
- Developing your identification skills
- The parts of a bird and the importance of note taking
- Learning bird songs and calls
- How to attract more birds into your garden
- Where to watch birds
- Understanding the role of conservation organisations
- Birding in safety and comfort.
