Join BTO Scotland's Steve Willis for a walk around Brodgar looking for any birdlife we can find! We'll use the BirdTrack app in the field and find out more about how we can use it to record birds. Part of Orkney Nature Festival.

We'll take a leisurely walk around Brodgar and Loch of Stenness and Loch of Harray taking in all the birdlife we can see. We'll cover identification featrures of various birds around us. There should be a nice range of waterbirds and raptors about. We'll use the BirdTrack app as we go, learning how the app works in the field, what details we can record, and what else we can find out about local sightings.  

The walk is suitable for everyone from complete beginners to to more experienced birders. Note the footpaths are on grass and gravel. We'll take our time throughout the morning!
