Birdwatching, or birding, is the observing of birds, either as a recreational activity or as a form of citizen science. A birdwatcher may observe by using their naked eye, by using a visual enhancement device like binoculars or a telescope, by listening for bird sounds, or by watching public webcams.
Most birdwatchers pursue this activity for recreational or social reasons, unlike ornithologists, who engage in the study of birds using formal scientific methods.
Join the journey into the world of birds by visiting our local photo gallery!
Birdwatchers from all over the world will gather this month to share photos of different species they made, talk about their observations and help the environment by building and disseminating environmental knowledge by participating in citizen science 🐦
