I have enjoyed watching birds in a “fine weather” manner since being a kid but have only recently started to take birding seriously. I’ve bought a scope and a pair of fairly decent bins, joined the RSPB and become a member of Bird Forum! I’m also attempting to learn songs and calls from the Collins field guide and CDs (not easy but I think I’ve cracked the Chiff Chaff!)
I have noticed many BF members referring to “fieldcraft” and would be very grateful if you could give me a few tips on woodland birding. I have had several attempts but have come away having seen very little (especially when the leaves are on the trees) but judging by the singing and the calling the woods have been brimming over with birds.
Mods: Just realized perhaps I should have posted this in "Tips for New Birders" - Apologies.
