Birding Basics

My Australian Geographic Magazine ‘Bird Nerd’ column has had a face lift! While the bird nerd tag has flown away, the column is still about birds, or should I say birding. Birding is wonderfully addictive, and this year I will be sharing birding tips and tricks and my favourite places from my 40+ yrs of birding.

This article is on birding basics, and goes through some of the equipment, the importance of joining birding groups, where to go to see birds and what to look for to assist in their identification.
