A practical route from backyard birding to wider horizons

Organized as a beginner’s guide that builds skills step by step, this book covers where and when to look, what to notice, and how to choose and use equipment. Its examples range from familiar birds such as robins to the more elusive bittern, while its settings extend from a local patch to woodland, estuaries, and wildlife reserves. That breadth links the practical details of watching birds with an introduction to varied habitats and birdlife. The 160-page guide is aimed at helping newcomers develop their observations and gradually explore places with different conditions and species.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults starting birdwatching with little or no experience
  • Beginners seeking guidance on observation and equipment
  • Birdwatchers interested in exploring habitats beyond their local area

Book overview

Get inspired by nature on your birdwatching journey

Start your birdwatching journey in the safe hands of a lifelong birder. Through a series of chapters, you will build from an absolute beginner, exploring your own backyard, soaking up useful tips and insights gained from years of birdwatching.

Whether you are in a city or deep in the country, birds are guaranteed and provide an easy doorway into nature. Learn where, when, and how to look and what to look out for. Find out what equipment to buy and how to use it. Discover the different characters and characteristics of birds--from the shy bittern to the bold robin and gymnastic red kite.

As you build skills and experience, the book will help you expand horizons from walks with binoculars around your "local patch" to visiting remote wildlife reserves and other nature hot spots, with their contrasting birdlife and different demands, from dense woodland to expansive estuaries teeming with flocks of waders.
