What does include
What does not include
- Avoid wearing brightly colored clothing or clothing that makes a lot of noise when you move
- Keep in mind that watching and listening to birds near a busy road will be much more difficult.
- Take your time, don't rush.
- By walking slowly you will see more birds, especially the quieter or more elusive ones.
- Be sure to listen to their song, it is as valuable as the birds you can observe. Take time to follow their claims (never ignore them!).
