‘The Secret Worlds of Birds of Prey’ course explores many little known facts of some of our raptors and highlights several serious conservation threats to their survival. Basic clues on the identification of these often difficult to identify birds are provided, but more importantly anecdotal information on their survival skills is shared: The heaviest vulture, the bird that covers its nest with communal spider webs, two species that hunt in tandem in the Kalahari and astonishing migratory flights are just some of the examples of fascinating ‘secrets’ shared. Basic notes on critical identification features will be forwarded to participants electronically.
