Binoculars are a basic element for practicing bird watching (We have some that we can lend, please write to us to separate them). The most suitable for this activity are: 7x35 - 8x42 - 10x42

Comfortable shoes and clothing for walking. Waterproof jacket, poncho or plastic rain cape. Photographic camera. Sunscreen. Hat or cap. Bottle with water.

Practical tips will be useful when observing birds. The color of your clothing should not be bright colors (such as orange or red), on the contrary it should be dark so that it can blend in with the environment.

Wake up early, the best times for bird watching are between 5:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. and 9:00 a.m. and the end of the afternoon, between 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m.

Binoculars and bird guide, although the basic equipment for observing birds is the eyes and ears, good binoculars and a pocket guide to birds of the region visited are required.

Walk slowly in silence and observe, bird watching is a task of patience and silence, in fact a bird can be identified by observation or by its song.
