Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Autumn- and winter aspects of Austrian birds and their habitats.
In four field excursions we present different waterhabitats with their overwintering and migrating avifauna.

There will be a short, mandatory briefing on october 2, 2024 at 18 pm via zoom. The link will be sent to registered students. If it turns out afterwards that somebody from the waiting list can participate, the slides from the briefing will be available on moodle. These participants will be contacted by us via e-mail immediately after the briefing.
