Migration has long been thought of as mysterious.
This course takes a look at the migration of birds in detail. We will explore why migration happens and how it happens. We will examine the worldwide movement of birds paying particular attention to Western Europe and of course the UK and East Anglia. We will also discuss vagrancy in birds and what that can tell us about migration and populations.
