Om studiet

At BirdID you can learn how to identify birds by online studies on our website and/or by joining us in the field. Flexible online studies in bird identification can be a useful tool to learn efficiently, and to formally document your skills. You can take the exams online alone, or combine it with our field courses. We have educated people from all over Europe in bird identification for more than ten years. Increased competence within the field of ornithology is becoming more important as the pressure on nature increases. It is our mission to strengthen the general interest in birds, and that you learn how to recognize different species in the field, and participate for example in bird census work.
