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:

No public board meeting for Manx Care due to General Election
Chauffeur needed to provide 'professional and discreet service' for VIPs
Fire officer praises 'quick-thinking' staff after blaze at fire station
Chief Minister: 'AG not out to silence debate'
