The initial two webinars will run on 27^th October 2026 and 24^th November 2026 from 6pm to 7.30pm and are part of the Biological Recording Company’s ‘Skills for Ecology’ series.

Courses of this nature usually cost £12.50, but with a code used when purchasing, there is a £2.50 discount that is exclusive to Dipterists Forum members. Members please contact dipteralin@gmail.com for the code, thanks.  DF membership starts from just £8.00 per year so these webinars alone will save you £5.
