At the workshop, the Greens will show what to look for when identifying various birds and discuss food sources, birdbaths, bird perches, bird boxes and how to care for birds.

Mr Green will share the secret art of “bird shushing”, which he claims encourages them to move closer towards him.

Attendees are invited to bring along photos of birds they have spotted in the area and would like to know more about.
