BirdLife Overberg’s drive to expose more people to the wonderful world of birds and bird-watching moves to the NG Church Hall in Calitzdorp on 5 and 6 April when the Flight for Birders 2019 identification and conservation course will be presented.
The course consists of equal thirds of bird identification, birding tourism and conservation issues with emphasis on how ordinary bird-watchers could become involved in birds and birding actions.
The Secretarybird is also celebrated as BirdLife South Africa’s bird of the year. People working in the tourism and conservation industries, as well as novice and more experienced bird-watchers should be encouraged to participate.
The costs of the course (R550 per person) include coffee and tea, a practical outing, basic notes and a certificate endorsed by BirdLife South Africa.
