Prepare your equipmentBetter tools make good work. For bird watching, you must first bring good equipment: binoculars, especially for novices, can be said to be a must-have.
Here's a little tip: beginners just need to buy binoculars because it's lightweight and convenient. When you have bird-watching experience in the future, it's not too late to buy a monotube.
Look for birdsThe birds don't wait for you to see, so you'll have to find them yourself. So, how do you find birds?
Listen to the screams
If you haven't noticed a bird for a long time, but suddenly you hear a bird call, then the next flock of birds is about to appear, and a large wave of cuties are flying towards you.
Watch the wind and grass go around
If there is a flutter in the branches or bushes, it may be a small animal, but in most cases, it will be a bird.
Wait for the birds
Wait, it's a matter of luck. If you shoot waterfowl, go to a place with an aquatic environment, and if you shoot other birds, go to the woods or next to a tree full of flowers.
Precautions when bird watchingAlways remind yourself to stay private and quiet, and not to frighten wild birds. Be careful to avoid wearing clothes that are easy to rub and have bright colors that contrast strongly with the background, and you can wear dark clothes, such as camouflage, dark green, brown, gray, etc.
When watching migratory birds crossing the border, remember that they are in dire need of rest and food. Avoid chasing wild birds so that they can forage and rest freely. Do not use any improper means to drive away or lure wild birds.
Do not catch wild birds, do not arbitrarily rescue sick birds, injured birds, or chicks, and if rescue is really necessary due to special circumstances, promptly report to the local wildlife protection department, and do not pick up or contact dead wild birds.
If you are interested in photographing birds, use flash sparingly during the shooting process.
