Workshop: Best of Overberg Birding

This workshop by Anton Odendal is aimed at celebrating several of the top birdwatching destinations of the Overberg region. The destinations and how to get there are discussed in detail, together with an overview of the top bird species to look out for at each location. Potentially confusing identification characteristics are illustrated. The text used during the workshop is included in basic workshop notes to be forwarded to all participants before the workshop starts. The workshop will assist both local and visiting birders to make the most of birding in the region particularly during the summer months. Participants receive a special offer to join BirdLife Overberg.
