Birdsong identification (Spring term) (LEI 23(z))

  • Day and time: Thursday 11:15 - 12:15
    Fortnightly
  • Length of course: 1 term. Spring (4 Weeks)
  • Number of places: 98
  • Start date: 17 February 2022
  • Description:

    All birds have different songs and this is the best time of year to learn to recognise them, before the leaves are on the trees. This course offers 4 x 1 hour sessions, aiming to introduce around 20 of the locally common birds. It is basic, though requires some knowledge of the birds themselves. (It is definitely not for those who want to discuss the subtle differences between blackcap and garden warbler songs.) You will get the most out of it if you are prepared to revise after each session, by listening to the tapes and also outdoors. There will be lots of repetition. Dates: 17 Feb; 3, 17 & 31 March.
