A guide to 60 South African raptors
 
Raptors are difficult. A typical birding course is a series of species images and id characters that can overload the senses and drain the joy out of birding!
 
Our course emphasizes process against detail; principles versus individual species.
We use our successful 2 step identification protocols, which combined with comparative work, games and self identification exercises (repetitive to embed memory) turns a daunting task, turns into an enjoyable session of learning.
 
Course outline
Three 75-90 minute sessions as shown below:
Session 1. Principles of raptor id – falcons & kestrels
Session 2. Vultures and eagles
Session 3. Buzzards, Goshawks, Harriers and other fantastic raptors
 
We will send you the course material as pdfs at the end of the course to allow review of material. If you miss a session, you can view a recording.
I offer an interactive and relaxed experience in small groups which supports learning.
