Birds for Beginners – Improve Your Bird Identification Skills

BirdLife Shoalhaven will run free guided bird walks to improve the bird ID skills of “emerging” birdwatchers. If you want to improve your bird identification skills, this is your perfect opportunity.

Experienced birdwatchers will take you on a bird walk around the grounds of the Jervis Bay Maritime Museum and the surrounding bushland to see what birds you can find. Head to the pond on the creek side of the Museum where we will introduce you to your guide before you head off in small groups for your walk. You will be shown how to enter the birds you see into the Aussie Bird Count app, as part of BirdLife Australia’s annual bird survey. When it is available, we will send you the link to download the app, which includes a full bird identification guide.

Some light refreshments will be available afterwards, when we will have a ‘bird call’ of all the birds that everyone has seen and those you still have to find!

It is essential that you bring a pair of binoculars with you!

The bird walks are free, but you must register at https://events.humanitix.com/birds-for-beginners-guided-bird-walks-to-improve-your-bird-identification-skills-in-the-field
