• Start birdwatching early in the morning
  • Do your birding close to home
  • Turn all activities into birding: walks, days at the beach, drives to the shops, while you are gardening
  • Head to the water where birds are plentiful
  • Choose birdwatching destinations wisely, variety in landscapes/ habitats available means different birds
  • Avoid crowded spots
  • Consider the Season, summer is for open water and forests, winter for drier areas
