Bird watching

Rustle up some binoculars and head out into Nature to observe some of her most beautiful, fascinating creations: birds. The colours, the calls, the everyday miracle of flight…somehow they never get old, whether you’re keeping an eye on the sparrows on your bird-table, or watching a thousand wading flamingos on an African safari. And birdwatching holidays give you the opportunity to make feathery friends you’d never have met elsewhere: strutting peacocks in the jungles of India and Nepal, jewel-bright hummingbirds in the Brazilian rainforest, or ostriches sprinting across the Karoo in South Africa. Go with an expert guide or armed with only your bird identification book: either way, you’re guaranteed a magical experience that will make you appreciate the wonders of the wild like never before.
