Hoverflies Training Course
This CEDaR training course begins with an indoor session at Lough Neagh Discovery Centre where Anna Hart (Allen and Mellon) will present key id features of our winged friends. Tea and coffee will be available.
Please bring a packed lunch and water to enjoy before the afternoon session, where we will put our new skills to the test and identify species of hoverflies at Oxford Island.
Appropriate footwear (walking boots/wellies) is essential, along with weather appropriate clothing, and we recommend long trousers and sleeves to avoid pesky insect bites during fieldwork.
Hand lenses are recommended, but will available to borrow on the day.
Please note this course is taking place on Oxford Island not on the Ulster Folk Museum site.
