This full day workshop forms part of a CPD weekend supported by the South West Regional Team and led by experts in their fields. This weekend is a great opportunity for members to get together, improve their awareness and practice and refresh their skills.

There’s more to the birds we encounter on a day in the hills than just “Little Brown Jobs”. Join Alex on a guided walk and learn about the types of bird present in our hills, moorlands and mountains, with further opportunities to identify flora along the way.

This workshop will cover:

• Methods to identify birds common to upland environments, namely by sight and sound
• How different habitats influence what species we might see and where
• The impact of seasonality on birds
• Conservation issues surrounding our feathered friends.

This workshop is orientated towards anyone operating in the upland environment under a professional leadership context; award holders and trainees alike. However, it is also suitable for those wishing to simply increase their own personal understanding of birds.

Equipment to bring: Plenty of food and drink, binoculars, pen & notepad may be handy. Please dress appropriately for the weather and terrain.

Workshop provider: This session will be hosted by MTA member Alex Rhodes, an outdoor instructor and naturalist based in the South-West. He has a BSc in Zoology and holds the ML and RCI qualifications.
