I know – bird-watching is best done solo, because a lot of people can’t keep their mouths shut, but sometimes it is just nicer to go in a group nonetheless, and with people who actually know about birds.

There are several opportunities coming up, first of all by joining a VHS course called Bird-watching in English. Unfortunately, VHS has not quite joined the 21st century yet, so it is difficult to link to the list of courses (the links are the same), but if that does not work, just search Bird-watching under each district (the hyphen is essential if you want a result).

VHS Tempelhof Schöneberg (the first meeting being at Südgelände already on 9 September): https://www.vhsit.berlin.de/VHSKURSE/BusinessPages/CourseList.aspx

Also, NABU Berlin offers bird-watching events (in German), usually free of charge, guided by excellent ornithologists. Find those and other events here: https://berlin.nabu.de/natur-und-landschaft/natur-erleben/termine/, where, incidentally, you will also find the above Bird-watching in English events listed.
