Identifying NZ Birds (Ōtanewainuku Forest, 2 April 2026)

This Identifying NZ Birds training unit is designed not to teach you every species of bird, but is instead intended to teach you how to identify birds. You will learn the steps to take to identify birds both by sight and sound in the field, as well as using other methods. You will also learn how to identify bird sounds. The  day will be spent in the field practising hands-on skills with the variety of birds we find around us.

This training unit will be held on *2 April 2026 (8:00am-2:00pm) at Ōtanewainuku Forest.* NOTE: This training unit is also being run at other sites in the Bay of Plenty. See listings under ‘Our Training Units’ for further details.

*Please Note:
Unsuitable weather conditions (or other unforeseen circumstances) may mean we have to postpone this day. Once enrolled updates and options will be available in the ‘Announcements’ tab no later than 8:00pm on 1 April.
