There are many ways in which it is possible to enjoy bird watching. By means of nesting boxes, feeding tables, and baths, birds can be attracted near to houses. This allows many opportunities of looking at birds closely, of sketching them and so learning more about their habits. Examples are given of some of the other bird-watching activities that can be carried out.
