Birdwatching is a wonderful hobby that can grab your interest and soon you will have an app on your phone and start looking for a small camera to take with you on your daily walks.
Before you know what has happened you will look around and see you have purchased a higher-end camera and a huge lens! Yes, I am talking from experience.
I enjoy walking and hiking surrounding parks, wildlife refuges, wildlife management areas, and day trips to 'respectfully' stalk birds and wildlife with a camera.
