Advanced Course in Raptor Identification

During the weekend of 16-18th Sep, a course in raptor identification will take place in Tarifa, Spain, one of the true hotspots for raptor migration in Europe. The course will be arranged by Fundación Migres (www.fundacionmigres.org) an NGO specializing in the research of the migration through the Straits of Gibraltar. During the 3-day course I will be giving indoor lectures on different topics, such as discussing the use of various identification methods, including a presentation on the importance of moult studies for field identification of raptors, while other talks will include more specific hints on the identification and ageing of the actual raptors of the season. Whatever new we learn from the lectures, we can then apply in the field during our specially designed field-trips to the nearby raptor watch points. The participants can not only expect to learn a lot of new things about raptor identification, but also to see big numbers of different raptor species in various plumages and of different age-classes. And all this for a mere 50,00 Euros, which includes the lectures, field-trips incl. guiding on the spot and transportation to and from the watch points, and coffees! The number of participants is restricted to 40, so be sure to book now to secure your participation.
