Flock to Marion AGAIN! Seabird and Marine Mammal ID workshops

ABOUT

To help prepare for the Flock to Marion AGAIN! voyage, BirdLife South Africa will be hosting a series of five must-attend seabird and mammal identification workshops, but these workshops will also be open to anyone interested in improving their identification skills. The workshops will cover all the species we’re likely to see on the Flock to Marion AGAIN! voyage. They will be presented by experts in seabird and marine mammal identification.

Ticket sales will close at 8 pm SAST on the day before the workshop and you will receive your unique Zoom link on the morning of the workshop at the latest. If you missed any of the live workshops or missed the cut-off time, there are ticket options to purchase access to the recording.

While we encourage everyone to watch live on the day of the workshop, we understand that that may not always be possible. Links to the recordings will be sent to all participants. As this is a fundraising event for our African Penguin conservation work, we ask that these links are not shared and will be linked to the email address provided during booking.
