To make the first steps, binoculars and a guide to the recognition of the species suffice and voila: anyone can go birdwatching. This English word that has now become part of the Italian vocabulary, means to observe birds in freedom, in their natural environment. A hobby that can easily be done throughout all seasons of the year and anywhere, even in our cities, because all the environments are populated by numerous species.
