A few practical tips for birdwatching at a patch

Do your research and try to find somewhere that offers a range of habitats, increasing your chances of seeing more species of birds. This will only serve to enhance your enjoyment.

Explore everywhere and try to unearth those little alcoves and pockets of cover that could throw up something unexpected.

Work towards finding yourself a regular route that you can follow as this will enable you to develop solid and effective records.

Finally, enjoy it, absorb it and allow yourself to connect with it. The more you understand it, the more rewards you’ll be able to reap from it.
