I Feel Good When Watching Birds
I live on the coast in a sub-tropical region and have birds around all year long. There are a variety from sea birds, forest birds, raptors and migrant birds. These come in all shapes and sizes and can be heard from about 4am till about 7pm. there are even those that can be seen at night if you know where to look.
One of my favourite things is walking along sand roads in out of the way places and just see what crosses my path. you never know if there will be birds hopping around on the floor, jumping around in the branches above you or swooping in and out from the trees. its an amazing experience to see a bird that you never spotted before and to get a positive ID. Its just as amazing to see an old favourite exhibiting behaviour that you normally only read about. I was recently very lucky to witness the African Fish Eagle taking a fish from a stream near me, I have seen it a number of times in documentaries, but nothing as breath taking as seeing it first hand.
On days like that I just let all my worries go and unwind. tomorrows problems will sort themselves out tomorrow, for now its just me and the wild.
