Welcome to our summer bird song listening club!

Do you want to be able to recognise more bird songs around you? Then come join our summer bird song listening club!

The purpose of the bird song listening club is to get more people out into nature, have fun, and hopefully learn something new! We will be going on a 2 hour walk in the area of the event and we will try to listen and identify local birds. We will try to learn the sounds of these birds by finding fun and interesting ways to remember their sounds! 

These events are free and beginners are most welcome. It is possible to sign up for all the evenings, or just singular ones, it is up to you. Since we are a youth organization, this event is aimed primarily towards youth (up to 29) – however, people of all ages are welcome to attend! There is no limit to the number of participants.

We have a few pairs of spare binoculars available to share, a telescope and a few birdbooks (in Finnish). If you have equipment for birdwatching, please bring it. You can also borrow binoculars from some libraries in Helsinki. 

You will be emailed the event meeting locations for each event around 5 days before the events you have signed up for.
