Birds are very specific about the environment in which they live. This will depend mostly on the availability of the food sources that they are adapted to exploit and on their chances of finding suitable breeding conditions. Different species will move seasonally and in response to sudden changes in weather and food supply and will even migrate over huge distances in order to improve their survival opportunities, while some are sedentary and remain in the same habitat for the duration of their lives.

We will cover a different habitat during each of the six sessions which are as follows.

DISCOVERING BRITISH BIRDS PART ONE

Weds. 13^th January     –             Coasts

Weds. 20^th January     –             Seabirds

Weds. 27^th January     –             Wetlands

 

DISCOVERING BRITISH BIRDS PART TWO

Weds. 3^rd February     –             Woodlands

Weds. 10^th February   –             Farmland & Gardens

Weds. 17^th February   –             Heaths, Moors & Mountains

We trace the breeding season from colourful territorial displays, song, nests and eggs to the hatching and fledging of young. Almost every species is unique in their fascinating lifestyles and the countless strategies they use.
