The course provides an opportunity to develop your knowledge and experience of birds within a landscape of often striking beauty. Centred around the coast, we'll also explore areas of freshwater, farmland and wooded sites to experience our varied birdlife, but also take stock of the diverse native flora & fauna, which are such an integral part of each habitat.

There will be a clear emphasis upon developing your bird identification skills & experience, but not at the expense of understanding the roles of these living things within their environment. The impact of humans upon the landscape will form a common theme for discussion, but I fervently hope that you emerge with a feeling that we are not such bad custodians of the planet! Whether you are a seasoned natural historian or have just 'caught the bug,' you should find plenty to keep you enthralled. However, you should have a moderate level of fitness as there will definitely be some walking.
