Birding and Bird Tours

I have a friend who is very much into bird watching and he has introduced me to the fact that there is a massive bird tour industry. I have always wanted to try a bird tour. It seems like a very relaxing way to get outside and get some fresh air.

There's a site I have been reading on the topic as well. The Birdtours web-site (http://www.birdtours.co.uk/ ) is a collection of over 1500 bird watching reports from over 130 countries. No one has counted precisely, but we think that over 9500 bird species are documented. Many new reports are added each month. Reports are sent in by travelling bird watchers worldwide, amateur and expert alike, who wish to share their experiences with others. The site is run primarily as a hobby page and as a free source of bird watching information by its owner, John Girdley.
