The Birds of Ireland

  • Menna Abu Zahrahas quoted3 years ago
    Feathers on almost all birds are arranged in groups called feather tracts. These tracts are common to most birds and can vary between species
  • Menna Abu Zahrahas quoted3 years ago
    When identifying birds it is the same thing – think of your humble sketch as a map rather than a work of art.
  • Menna Abu Zahrahas quoted3 years ago
    You do not need a degree in art. In fact, you do not need to be able to draw well at all. If you think about it, if you wanted to give someone directions you would probably draw a map rather than have them remember the directions in their head.
  • Menna Abu Zahrahas quoted3 years ago
    Making a quick sketch of any mystery bird you see is also very valuable. With a little practice, you can record a large amount of information about a bird in this way in a short space of time.
  • Menna Abu Zahrahas quoted3 years ago
    Many of the most famous naturalists began as birdwatchers.
  • Menna Abu Zahrahas quoted3 years ago
    You can make a valuable contribution to our knowledge and the conservation of birds.
  • Menna Abu Zahrahas quoted3 years ago
    Birdwatching can become a lifetime hobby. Its beauty is that birds are everywhere, from the windowsill in the centre of a town or city to the cliff tops of the most remote, windswept island.
  • Menna Abu Zahrahas quoted3 years ago
    At some stage or other each of us has had our attention drawn to a wild bird, whether looking at a cheeky Robin in the garden, watching seagulls during a day at the beach in summer or when feeding the swans at the local pond.
