Raptor workshop in Sydney (July 25/26)

For anyone wanting to learn more about our raptors, Dr Stephen Debus will be presenting an exceptional workshop over the 25th and 26th July in Sydney.

http://www.birdlife.org.au/events/detail/birdlife-southern-nsw-activity39/birdlife-southern-nsw/

Saturday will be a classroom session and Sunday a field trip.

In my opinion, Steve is the most knowledgeable field researcher of our predatory birds with many excellent papers and books to his name. If you want to learn, this is your chance.

Sounds awesome, pity it's in Sydney sad

Do you know if he is running any in Qld, Brisbane in particular?

Thanks for letting us know Canonguy

Hi mate

You can check with your local Birdlife people.

One thing I do recommend is Steve's compact Raptor field guide from the CSIRO. It's about $40.00 from memory and has very useful information on ID etc of our raptors.

How is your hide going Devster?

Still deciding which approach I want to take with the hide. In other words procrastinating!
