Wouldn’t it be wonderful to identify a bird simply by hearing a few notes of their song?
Justin Ivory’s illuminating talk is an unmissable event for those curious to learn about the birds who share our Irish gardens. Do you wake in the morning to the sound of heavenly birdsong and always wonder from which beak it sounds? This workshop will outline the who, what, why and when – with special focus on the ten most common calls in our local vicinity. A great session to attend in advance of the National and International Dawn Chorus.
This event will be hosted online over ZOOM.
Once booked a zoom invitation link will be sent the week of the event.
