Join BTO Scotland and North Ayrshire Council Rangers for a practice session on wader and waterbird ID, learning key features and transferable skills. Come along and have a go at the Wetland Bird Survey on the loch at Eglinton.

Event Description

Join BTO Scotland staff member Steve Willis and Graeme Walla from North Ayrhsire Council  to practise your waterbird ID skills. During this small-group event we will enjoy spending time together looking at waterbirds and any other species that are present. We'll practise a range of skills, including key ID features for particular species, and broader transferable skills that will help with your development as a birdwatcher. We'll go to the loch and have a go at counting the birds there, as the Rangers do once a month for the Wetland Bird Survey. This is a fantastic opportunity to increase your confidence in a supportive environment, plus meet some like-minded souls and enjoy learning about birds!

The event will take place at Eglinton Country Park in North Ayrshire.  

Please wear appropriate clothing for the weather conditions.
