Aren't you fond of birdwatching yet? Come on! You're missing one of the most stunning things that the Nature provides us.

Come to my mind memories of my first day as a birdwatcher. Being in contact with the Nature,  the colourful plumage, the chirping sounds, the way of flying and hovering, the wide diversity, the difficult sighting and, above everything, the passion transmitted by our coach. Was in that moment when  I realized I'll take up this hobby.

Up to now, I haven't watched the wake of a flying bird but the photographer Xavier Bou, after a hard work and  many years, invites us "to make visible the invisible" through his astonishing pictures. Please, click on this link and enjoy it.

As you probably know, British people are quite keen on birdwatching, more than 2 million birdwatchers. Two associations lead this activity, here you are both websites just in case you were interested in them.

Nevertheless, birdwatching is a minority activity in Spain although it seems to be rising. The Association which leads this activity in Spain is SEO Birdlife that also plays a relevant role defending the Nature. Let me share with you its website and please surf into in order to discover a new world.

In addition, be informed that the international Day of wetlands will celebrate on February 2nd, being the motto of Ramsar in 2018 "wetland for a sustainable urban future". What does Ramsar mean? Here you are, https://www.ramsar.org/

Finally, I'd like to aware you about the importance of the conservation of wetlands not only for the planet but particularly for the birds. Golden orioles, kingfishers, bee-eaters, robins and more and more birds will be quite grateful to you.

I wish you've found this information of your interest, it could be useful for keeping a more ecofriendly planet.
