Another way to get close to nature is to watch birds in Penang.

Birds are good friends of human beings. Since childhood, we have consciously protected animals from destroying their habitats. In various provinces and cities in China, the activities of "Love Bird Week and Love Bird Month" with the theme of protecting birds will be carried out from February to May according to the local climate environment.

In Penang, the bird-watching tour has gradually expanded and matured, and it is also an ecological tour close to nature. So what kind of activity is bird watching? Listen to me in detail.

Bird watching is an activity suitable for all ages. Professional birdwatchers usually travel around the world with binoculars in search of rare birds.

Penang is home to about 420 species of birds (including rare birds) and is famous for its rich bird species, such as eagles, owls, songbirds, wading birds and waterfowl, including migratory birds and resident birds, which makes Penang a paradise for beginners and experienced birdwatchers.

Penang has an environment suitable for birds, mainly including:

Different types of habitats, suitable bird species will be different:

Shansenlin

Lowland forest

wetland

paddy field

Mangroves and mudflats

When is the right time to come to Penang for bird watching? See if you want to see resident birds or migratory birds. Residents can be seen in Penang all year round, and migratory birds can be seen from September to March every year. Please arrange your trip according to the birds you want to see. In order to give beginners a better bird watching experience, I have provided some guides on the trip equipment.

Because bird watching activities are carried out in an outdoor ecological environment, everyone should try to choose comfortable clothes and shoes that are convenient for walking. In addition to sunscreen, you need to wear sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat to increase sun protection. Professional bird watchers must bring binoculars, as well as field work guides, notebooks, pens, cameras, travel first aid kits, spraying pesticides, etc. It should be noted that water and dry food can replenish energy for your outdoor activities.

On the bird-watching tour, we will go deep into the bird habitat, that is, visit the bird's home, so as "guests", we should respect the host!

Research study

Study the sounds of birds, listen to their calls and observe their characteristics, colors, habits and habitats.

look

Keep your eyes open, it's hard to see things in the forest, so pay attention to what happens in the trees.

carry

Bring binoculars to ensure adequate water; When you go bird watching with friends, if you are afraid of getting lost, be sure to inform your next of kin and hire a tour guide.

identify

Identify the birds you meet and write them down in your notebook. If necessary, use illustrated bird field guides to identify them.

Still solemnly

When watching birds in the wild, keep quiet and don't make any sudden moves, or you will scare the birds away.

Save in the file

Make sure you create a diary of your bird-watching trip that day in your notebook, including sketches of birds you just met, birds you don't recognize and other observed birds. These sketches will be useful in identifying birds you are not familiar with in the future.

think

Be considerate at all times, especially when taking pictures with a flash. Don't use a strong flash.

Don't disturb the birds.

Don't throw things at birds.

Stay away from nesting birds.

Don't feed the birds in the wild

Don't litter.

Don't record and play bird songs too often to attract birds.

The paradise of birds and the generosity and beauty of nature complement each other, and Penang is indeed a refuge for our lovely feather friends. With the above preparations, you can start your bird-watching trip! If you want to experience the bird-watching route of avid birdwatchers, go to the natural scenic spots below Penang, and don't forget to bring your binoculars!
