Meet our lead mentors: Robert “Butterfly Boy”, Nick “Parrot Man” & Innocent “Bat Man”.

Robert sees wings everywhere (and spots the tiniest things first) — and probably chats more than a Kanyonza (you may know it as the Snowy-headed Robin-Chat).

Nick brings the laughs and gets the kids mimicking bird calls… mostly parrots, obviously!

And Innocent? Although he is fascinated by the flying mammals, he utterly lives and breaths birds — he’s probably birding in his sleep.

But the best bit? They absolutely adore the kids. Every Sunday they show up to share what they know, learn alongside the children, and celebrate every new sighting like it’s the first time.

Sunday morning magic: binoculars up, ears open, hearts full. Local young birders learning to notice the small wild things — and falling in love with nature one sighting at a time.

Village Bird Clubs are inspired and guided by our mentors — Robert, Nick, and Innocent — whose knowledge and passion help to shape the next generation.
