Birdsong Breakdown | 11.00am - noon | Sep 5
Join Mark Nowers for a fascinating Birdsong Breakdown, exploring the incredible world of birdsong and the birds that fill Ireland’s hedgerows, fields and woodlands. Discover how to recognise different calls, what they tell us about the birds around us, and how to listen to the Irish countryside in a whole new way. A fun, informative session for bird lovers, nature enthusiasts and curious listeners of all ages.
Mark Nowers is a self-taught birder and naturalist who cut his birdwatching teeth on a Young Ornithologist's Club trip to Beddington Sewage Farm back in 1983. Birds have been in his blood ever since, travelling across the UK and abroad to feed his passion, but nowadays, living a family life in south Suffolk, his birdwatching, surveying and nest-recording follows the rhythms of the season locally. For the last 25 years he has been fortunate to make a career from his hobby and is currently a conservation adviser supporting 100 farmers and landowners in Essex as part of Operation Turtle Dove.
