// GUIDE COURSES
SPECIALIST BIRDING COURSE
This course is co-instructed by a top birding guide as well as a master bird ringer and offers a unique combination of hands on bird ringing and exposure to bird guiding skills.
Specialist Birding Course
This course is therefore ideal for anyone interested in furthering their bird knowledge. It will greatly improve bird identification abilities as well as giving an intimate knowledge only gained by seeing these birds in the hand. It is very much a practical course with basic theory content. This will be in the way of lectures delivered during the day when temperatures prohibit mist netting. While there are staff to assist at our bush camps, some participation will be required, in particular, the erection and monitoring of trapping lines and mist nets.

accommodation
4 x 3m Meru tents with en-suite bucket shower and flush toilet.
