Recommendations for Enjoying Nature:

• Respect and protect natural treasures – beware of the environment around you; don’t break, pick, or touch anything unnecessarily.
• Leave only your footprints; take back home everything you brought with you.
• Be quiet – reduce noise so the living creatures don't hear you, and you can hear them.
• Animals are adapted to survive in their natural environment – don’t move or feed them; they will find what they need themselves.
• Pay attention to protection and usage rules in specially protected natural areas.

During birdwatching:

• Choose appropriate equipment and clothing:
  • Binoculars or a spotting scope are essential for observing birds from a distance.
  • Comfortable clothing suitable for the weather is important to make birdwatching enjoyable. Non-rustling fabric and natural colors will help you blend in with the surroundings.
• Pick the right time of the day for birdwatching! This depends on the species you want to see. Many birds are particularly active in the morning when searching for food.
• Ensure the sun is behind you, thus highlighting the birds’ colors on the homogeneous background.
• Stay updated on migration activities and locations to spot the bird species you’re interested in.
• If you’re a beginner, learn to identify birds! Bring a bird guidebook or app to help recognize unfamiliar species, and keep a checklist of your observations.
• Be discreet – bird nests and fledglings are inviolable. Observe them only from a distance without touching or disturbing them, as it can endanger their safety.
• Use birdwatching hides or towers! People who remain unnoticed observe far more bird species.
• Seek a guide’s assistance to find the best birdwatching spots!

While in nature, be in harmony with it and remember that others will enjoy it after you – treat it with care!
