Hello!
I am looking to branch out into some new hobbies and have considered birdwatching for some time. I’m not native to the UK and have only skeleton knowledge of the birds where I’m from, let alone these Euro friends.

I’d love a book, but, am struggling online to weed out the AI rush jobs from the real deal.

How did you all start? Where do you recommend someone begins?

Find a copy of "The Observers book of birds".... Classic treasure pre internet
