Envirohub Bay of Plenty and the Te Puke branch of Forest and Bird are proud to announce that the popular Bird calling ID Training is coming to Te Puke.

Have you been out walking in the bush and heard a bird song but had no idea which bird made it? Did it ruffle your feathers, even just a little or spark an interest in knowing which bird it was?

Well, come along to this training session with the super knowledgeable bird expert Paul Cuming from Western Bay Wildlife Trust and smooth out those feathers as you hone your bird calling ID skills.

New Zealand birds are notoriously hard to see in the bush and even on open ground. This is why listening to birdsong is an important part of any bird study.

The session aims to cover the most commonly observed birds in the Bay of Plenty, but will also answer your tricky questions. The outcomes of the course will mean that you'll be more familiar with the birds and their calls surrounding the habitats that you work and play in.

After the training, you'll be well placed to put your skills to the test in the Bay!

When: Sunday June 10, 2-3.30 pm
Where: Former RSA building, 16 Oxford Street, Te Puke.

Book a seat through Eventbrite.

A koha is welcomed at the venue to help continue to provide more amazing training opportunities in the future
