Birding

Birds have been an inspiration to humanity since ages. At least that's the ideology of how we got aircrafts. Birds are everywhere, right from the trees to somewhere down your attic. We see them in our daily lives as well as enjoy their chirping during early mornings.
Looking at birds most of us wonder that we could fly like them too. In Hindu mythology we can find birds as Deities for example "Garuda."
Even today we cherish these winged creatures for their ability to build extraordinarily intricate nests also the brilliant colors of their plumage features that no human can replicate.

Birdwatching, or birding, is a type of untamed life perception in which the perception of birds is a recreational movement or national science. It is possible with the naked eye, through a visual improvement gadget like binoculars and telescopes, by tuning in for bird sounds, or by watching open webcams.

Now anyone can be a bird watcher, It does not require a rocket science to be one. Its based on the amount of interest you put in this hobby, I've met people who travel across oceans to see some rare species of birds. But never the less you can always start by checking out your neighbourhood or your backyard in order to find some cool birds.

Bird watching is a challenge at first because its difficult to identify the birds you spot as there are so many species. Also they posses a furtive nature so its usually difficult to have a near sight of them for the bird watchers. Bird watching requires a lot of patience & an inconspicuous presence. Remember some stealth games we used to play like splinter cell, so yes we need to be that precise.

Early morning is the best time for bird watching as birds are most active & searching for food during that time. Sighting your first bird gives you a lot of boost. Its ideal to look for them in places near fruiting trees or near water bodies. It requires a great hand-eye coordination with binoculars.

Bird watching in India is great. There are plenty of habitats where one can find different types of species all around the year. Try visiting bird sanctuaries in order to see some migratory birds.
