INTRODUCTION
TO BIRDING
online workshops
with
SCOTT ROGERS &
WOODLANDS COMMUNITY
Woodlands Community are hosting fortnightly online birding workshops with artist Scott Rogers throughout Feb and March. Above is a video recording of the first Birding Workshop delivered by Scott. You can sign up to watch the next workshops live through the Woodlands Community What's On page on their website.
These workshops are great for finding out more about the different bird species seen locally to Glasgow. You might also want to sketch along as you listen, included in the videos are photographs from Scott's own Birding collection.
To see more of Scott's photography you can visit his Instagram page
