Birds are colorful, full of movement and diurnal. In today’s context, with natural habitats coming under increasing threat there is a greater need for biodiversity monitoring, bringing about greater awareness for environmental concerns and action. In this regard, birdwatchers – amateurs or professionals – have a role to play not only in the dissemination of information but also in assisting conservationists in gathering data on bird distributions and abundance. Birds Beyond Watching takes birdwatching enthusiasts beyond simply watching birds and treating them merely as objects of identification. This book acquaints birdwatchers, nature lovers, students of biodiversity, conservation issues, bird study principles, and above all the methods of observing and recording.
