This beginner bird course provides a gentle introduction, covering aspects of common bird biology, ecology and behaviour.
An engaging course to introduce novices to our feathered neighbours in nature; learners will appreciate the basic biology of a bird and how that model has been illimitably adapted!

What will be covered during this course?
- An introduction to bird biology
- An introduction to bird ecology
- An overview of common garden birds encountered

Even in an urban environment the variety of species and their distinctive behaviours can be observed and better understood under the guidance of an engaging, experienced expert in the field. There will be ample time to explore your surrounding environment allowing you to spot some species and learn valuable field observational skills as you start out your journey into the birding world.
