National Landscape Southwest Fryslân organizes a bird of prey course in our hall It Kofjelokaal. The course consists of 2 evenings (November 25 and December 2) and an excursion on December 18. The course is given by raptor and owl researcher Lydia Barkema.The course evenings consist of a theoretical part and a workshop. On the basis of stuffed birds and theory you will learn to distinguish the different birds of prey. In the workshop you will identify the different birds of prey yourself.
