At Yorkshire Coast Nature we love to share our enthusiasm for the birds and wildlife around us
April – May 2023 Course Details – Beginners and Intermediate Levels – Two Separate Courses
Who is the course for?
This 8-week course is for beginner and intermediate level Birdwatchers; those of you who have developed a curiosity about the
birds you see in your garden or your local park, and want to know more.
It is designed to give you a better understanding of a variety of birds and their chosen habitats. The course will give you
confidence in how to spot and identify them, and a greater understanding of the resources that exist to help you pursue this
interest on your own. Who knows, you may even get hooked!
Who will be teaching me?
The course will include both indoor sessions, learning the basic skills and longer, outdoor sessions where you can put your new
found knowledge and skills into practice. Our expert tutor Margaret Boyd will provide you with all the guidance you need.
Margaret is a qualified teacher who started birding at a very young age. She has been sharing her passion for the subject as one
of the YCN guiding team for many years. You can see Margaret’s profile here.
What will I learn?
The course will cover:
? Bird identification skills
? How to find birds in a variety of habitats
? Fieldcraft – top tips that you won’t find in books
? Equipment - and how to use it
? Parts of a bird – their topography
? Bird sounds
? How to use resources such as field guides
? An introduction to bird conservation
How big is the group?
At Yorkshire Coast Nature we want to give you the best experience possible, so all our wildlife trips are run in small groups. This
course is no exception. Our maximum group size will be 8. This guarantees that you will have a good birding experience both in
the classroom and outside ‘in the field’.
When are the sessions?
We will be running two concurrent courses starting in July - exactly the same content but at different times of the day. We have
a daytime only course and, for those of you with work or other commitments, we are running an evening classroom session with
field visits on alternate weekends. You can see the dates and times in the table below.
If you are interested in joining us, please check the dates and times and choose the course that best suits your availability.
