First Flight: Guided Bird Walk

NEW!
Classroom Learning  | CED3011
Cost: $100.47

Fly high and take it outside. Through hands-on lessons, real bird calls, and visual guides, you’ll build the kind of skills that hold up out in the field. Spread your wings and start your birding journey. You’ll learn how to:

• Use field guides and common gear without fumbling around
• Watch birds the right way - ethical, low-impact, and respectful
• Keep solid field notes and document what you’re seeing
• Become familiar with local sightings and identify similar species apart
• Read bird behaviour and understand what’s going on around you

We’ll also get you plugged into citizen science platforms like eBird and iNaturalist, so your sightings can contribute to real conservation and research, not just your camera roll. By the end, you’ll be confidently calling out common birds and building the kind of skills that keep getting better every time you head outside.
