(ENGLISH SUBTITLES SOON)
Birdwatching Day was recently celebrated. So I decided to record a video in which I make a very simple tutorial on how to birdwatching from the window of your home with your children. An activity for children, doing CITIZEN SCIENCE and creating a bond with nature. Whoever begins to observe birds in free life, consequently develops a respect for nature. A very necessary quality nowadays.
I often compare bird watching with children as a game similar to the PokémonGO. Ours is "RealLifeGO".
In the video I show:
Equipments (Notebook or cell phone, binoculars or alternatives, camera or cell phone).
Understand where in the house you can make the observation.
Find out what species are out there (list of local birds, bird identification apps).
How to make your list while watching.
Cell phone: take a picture if possible with binoculars, post on citizen science sites.
Challenge: Tell me the birds that you and the children watched from the window of the house, so I can make a video about how many species we managed to record all together.
