Manx Birdlife expands its programme
Two new courses will launch this autumn for those in the north who would like to learn the art of bird watching.
The classes for beginners and intermediates are normally held in the south of the Island, but there have been growing calls for a classes to be held elsewhere.
Tim Earl is a bird watching tutor for Manx Birdlife.
He says there are several misconceptions about the hobby that the charity would like to dispel:
Sailings cancelled due to predicted gales
Yellow weather warning for Thursday
Have your say on the future of the Island's plantations
DEFA launches consultation on its plans to move towards mixed, multi-age woodlands
Warning for 'disorderly' parents attending schools
Police tell people to follow 'appropriate channels' with concerns
Yellow weather warning for gale force winds
Travel disruption likely
