as the topic says, I am thinking of taking up bird watching "twitching" as I get rather bored in the winter months when I can't go herping,
so here are the questions,
I have no idea at all on what to take do or how to do it, could someone please start me off with some good info? eg time of day, best habitat etc, I see birds all the time out herping but they all look so similar, they are a lot of trouble to identify (I guess people think the same of reptiles)
Also what is a good book that will really help me in identifying birds? I have the simpson and day bird book at the moment, just curious if there is an updated version.
I think I might find out if there is a local bird watching group aswell, I know I will be the only kid there and everyone else will be old, but hey, I don't mind.
