Do you like to watch birds?
I do! It is amazing just watching them fly, walk, eat, swim, perch.
Sometimes they chirp.
Hummingbirds are very interesting.

I do. I used to have a Northern Flicker show up every spring. He'd stand in the aluminum gutter and drum away. At like 5AM. :laugh:

I do. I'm lucky I have several nature reserves on bus routes and the coast river and woodland are all nearby.
Quite a wide variety of birds seen including goldfinch pied wagtail robin sparrowhawk kestrel buzzard many ducks waterfowl and waders. Seen a few rarities including bittern long eared owl and water rail

Naturally, coming from the US I had never seen a wagtail before I got to the UK... they're great!

I turned heads when I was out hiking. It was two owls though.
All well. At least I did not scare them away!

Many of those "owl" places are closing I hear as they do not get enough business.
