    I appreciate the lens and that you don't recommend 2000 dollar binoculars to new bird watchers. Your advice is appreciated.

    I enjoy all your birding lenses. Some advice would be to list this lens in the sub-category "birds" so it can be more easily found (maybe). Leaving a blessing.

    This lens is getting me enthused about bird watching again. I watch in my neighborhood, but now I may seek out a marsh or shore for a change. I'm featuring this lens on my Nature-Lenses lens.

    Very informative lens on bird watching.

    To be a good birdwatcher, you can also join a local birdwatching club, draw or paint birds (from memory or from photographs), make other bird-related artwork, educate others about the importance of birds, and help protect wild areas.

    Also, you can certify your yard as a wildlife habitat. (Birds included). You could also do a talk about birds for scouts or other school groups. I liked your lens a lot! Thank you for doing it.

    My mom loves birds. Her backyard is always so colorful with the songbirds around the feeders.

    Excellent lens on birdwatching!
    I'm going to lensroll this to my quiz!
    Thanks for helping get more people involved with birds!
    Wing high five!

    Some superb tips here. I love the idea of a birding blog - you make it sound achievable for anyone.

    Olympus 8x40 binoculars are very good I have them. They are quite cheap too.

    I love to watch the birds too. Project Feeder Watch in the US is a good one for counting birds in winter months. Lensrolling this to 2 of mine. Lot's of great info here, very nice lens.

    Thanks. We have a pair of Tree Sparrows dust-bathing in a flower box, something my wife is getting quite annoyed about and a pair of sunbirds come and raid the nectar from our flowers.

    Great tips. Our "local patch" is our garden. Various birds are nesting on the boundaries at the moment and a female blackbird is currently building a nest in the ivy outside ourt lounge door - very entertaining!

    Lovely lens, great advice and a Blessing from this feathered friend, oops I mean Angel.
