This beginner online bird course will introduce you to the field skills required to start identifying and recording birds, including how to use a guide and make a valuable record!
Birdwatching has become a hobby for many people of all ages and backgrounds. It allows us to connect with nature and begin to contribute to citizen science, but this relies on us knowing how and what to record. This course will help you become a better birdwatcher and use your observations for good!

Really enjoyed having the basics presented in a very complete way, a great way to make sure everyone has all the fundamentals they wouldn't get from just reading books.

It was taught by professionals and they taught the basics well. I learnt enough to feel confident going out and trying to identify birds better and know how to group them.
