1. Have a brief understanding of the life habits of birds
Bird watching is quite accidental. There are factors such as weather, sunshine, seasons, viewing angles, time, luck and so on. You can do your homework in advance, set your own goals and check their life habits, etc. For example, the heron birds that can be seen in the suburbs of Beijing, Li Li, director of the Black Panther Wildlife Conservation Station, introduced that the daily activities of heron birds are strictly according to the schedule. They fly to paddy fields or rivers and ponds early in the morning to feed, and once every thirty or forty minutes to feed their offspring, until they return to their nests on time to rest in the evening. Every year in April and May, he returned to the north, and when the weather was cold and the food was reduced, he flew back to the south in early winter.
2. Don't hang around the nest
Advise jun mo to beat the branch head bird, the son in the nest waiting for the mother to return. Folklore generally believes that parent birds abandon eggs and juveniles that have been touched by humans, even if they are only touched. The scientific community has debunked the myth that this common perception ignores the intrinsic drive of parent birds to raise offspring, nor does it conform to the basic physiological structure of birds. This misconception stems from the idea that birds can sense human odors. In practice, however, birds have a small and simple olfactory nerve and therefore a limited sense of smell. Only a very small number of birds have a very sensitive sense of smell and exhibit special adaptability. Still, we shouldn't be hanging around nests with birds or eggs. The truth is that birds do not abandon their young birds because they are touched by humans, but they do abandon their young birds and nests because they are disturbed.

Equipment you may need
Monoculars, binoculars, even the naked eye; you may need a "Chinese Bird Watching Field Manual" to learn in advance, you can also not use; dress should be close to nature, for example, the inspectors of the reserve often wear camouflage uniforms; the movement is slight, let the birds see you, according to the bird's movements to judge the pace; relax yourself, the birds will also relax; the bird's warning line is above 50 meters.
Don't be disappointed if you can't see birds
Bird watching is a natural, natural way of experiencing the wild and the fun of life. The happiness of bird watching comes purely and simply, just quietly watching these little guys move around, just as fun as watching children play; observing willow warblers, too able to fly too much, too jumping, powerful teleportation, and small. At first, the camera follows one and moves around, then it becomes holding up the camera and fixing itself on a screen, hoping to make it jump in on its own, and then pressing the shutter with a sharp mind!
If you can't see the birds, don't be disappointed, you are infinitely close to nature, learn a lot of knowledge, and prove that birds are not active in such weather, time, and place, which is also a scientific spirit that should be advocated by science popularization practice activities.
