Bird watching is one of those hobbies that you can do at home in your garden, the local park, fields and footpaths. If you have the chance to go, our countryside offers a wealth of nature reserves to test out your spotting and identification skills. Every different location and season attracts different sorts of birds and it’s always a joy to see something new.
Social media like Facebook offers a wealth of birding groups many of which will help you identify birds.
