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:

Five IOM women recognised in King's Birthday Honours
Police issue statement after reports female 'grabbed by her arm'
Option to relocate dementia patients no longer being considered by Manx Care
'Multitude of late boat arrivals' impacting customer numbers, says business
