Logging them?Spending time outdoors with birding as a  pleasurable and interesting reason for doing so. It's always fun to spot new species - logging is a fine idea too - otherwise how are you going to remember?2) Do any of you feel that if you are going to photograph birds you also need to be very knowledgeable and skilled with 'photography' or are novice photos just as interesting?Everyone starts as a novice and anyone can take an interesting picture, even if technically it may not be great.3) What is your favourite bird and why??I don't know, I haven't seen every species yet ;-)</blockquote>
