Bird Song for Beginners Course

About Us

Bird Song for Beginners Course, Hengistbury Head Visitor Centre. A four-session course. Learn to identify bird songs, with lots of tips, advice and time spent out listening. Booking is essential.

Our popular Bird Song for Beginners course at Hengistbury Head will start in April. This four-session course is aimed at anyone who would like to learn a little more about bird song - why birds sing, when they sing, and how to identify them. Learn the songs of resident and migrant birds, and get tips and advice on how to tell the song of one species from another. As much time as possible will be spent out on the Head and Wick Fields, listening to the birds and their songs.

So, if you, or someone you know (a place on the course would make a great gift!) would like to be able to tell the song of a Blackbird from a Blackcap, a Chiffchaff from a Chaffinch or a Robin from Wren, then this is the course for you (or them!). The course starts on Tuesday 23rd April and runs for four consecutive Tuesday mornings. Cost £60 per person. For more information, or to book a place, please phone 01202 451618 and ask for Richard.
