Recommendation from Elfyn Pugh on Face Book!
It's great to see these excellent wildlife observer training courses up and running again at the Pembrokeshire College in Haverfordwest West Wales. As far as I am aware they are the only academically 'accredited' courses in the UK so they are absolutely ideal to include on your CV. Attending a course will certainly provide you with the basics if you are thinking of progressing further with your education to degree level. I have taken part in all of these courses in recent years and I have nothing but the highest praise for the tutors. Pembrokeshire is also one of best areas in the UK for spotting cetaceans such as harbour porpoise, Risso's dolphin, common dolphin and Minke whale and the famous Cardigan Bay bottlenose dolphins regularly visit the north of the county. Pembrokeshire is also host to some of the most significantly important seabird breeding islands in Northern Europe.
