| Dick talking to the group at a recent training day in Shannon |
Information on the day by Dick Coombes
Ever thought of taking part in one of our key bird surveys, the Countryside Bird Survey (CBS), but didn’t know how to go about it? Well Olivia Crowe and Dick Coombes will be conducting a training day this coming weekend in Virginia. Why not come along or maybe even bring someone else?
The details are:
- Sunday 24th February, Lakeside Manor Hotel, Virginia, Co Cavan
The schedule for the day will be:
09.30 – 10.00 Arrival.
10.00 – 13.00 Illustrated talks, instruction about survey methods, ID and a chance to ask questions, with a tea/coffee break mid-morning.
13.00 Lunch (provided)
13.45 (approx) Short field trip. Should be finished by approx 15.30.
The CBS is carried out all over the country, but there are many gaps to be filled. Hopefully this training session will produce some new recruits as well as provide an opportunity for existing survey participants to get a refresher and meet other participants. We will also be showing some of the interesting results achieved by this important survey to date.

| Getting ready to commence the outdoor field trip in Shannon |
The afternoon field trip will provide easy hands-on experience with the forms and survey methods. The format will be very informal and there will be plenty of time to ask questions.
