Bird Watching is...
- - an Activity that enhances your sensitivity to seasonal and environmental Changes.
- - When you become an ardent bird watcher, you develop sensitivity to seasonal and environmental changes. You learn that certain birds appear in certain seasons and that others are found all year round but behave differently in different seasons.
Easy to Start....
| • | You can enjoy bird watching the minute you decide to start, before you even know the names of the birds you are watching. Birds, like human beings are warm-blooded vertebrate animals; so they have many movements and actions in common with human beings. Try to imagine and understand the behaviour of wild birds and you will feel closer to them! | | • | Try to find birds in the parks or open spaces in your neighbourhood. | | • | First, observe them without binoculars. | | • | If you find it interesting, why not try observing them with binoculars? |
Try This....
| • | Join a bird watching club or society. You can learn how to locate wild-birds, how to use binoculars for observing wild birds, and many other useful things. An additional benefit of joining a club is the companionship you will find there. | | • | Check out gardens with adequate facilities for bird watching. You can experience bird watching, even if you don't have binoculars or a Fieldscope to observe the birds close up. |
Which Binoculers are Good For Bird Watching.?
Binoculars make distant wild birds appear closer. Therefore you can enjoy their colours and the contours of their bodies much more clearly, which will make you really appreciate the beautiful colours and fluffy softness of the feathers. Because of their precision and power, Nikon's binoculars make bird watching even more enjoyable
Tips for Best binoculars for bird watching
| • Suitable magnifications:
 | | | 8x-10x: for bird watching in woods and forests
8x-12x: for bird watching around lakes and in tidal wetlands
| | | • Objective lenses with large effective diameter: | | | When using objective lenses with a diameter of more than 50mm, use a tripod to avoid image vibration caused by binocular shake. | | | • Wide field of view types: | | | With a wider field of view, it is easier to follow the movements of wild birds. | | | • Lenses with high performance: | | | Choose binoculars with less distortion to the periphery of the field of view so that they provide sharp images to allow you to observe comfortably. | | | • Binoculars that fit comfortably in your hand provide a sense of stability: | | | Actually pick up the binoculars and look through them. Find the model best suited to what you want. | | | • Waterproof or water-resistance: | | | Waterproof or water-resistant binoculars are recommended so there is no need to worry about your binoculars when there is sudden rainfall or when you use them in morning dew. | |
