When to Visit
Summer, autumn and spring are the best times to go birding. In the summer, lazy bird watching can be done, while autumn is the main flowering seasons and we all know how birds love blossom. Spring is the time when summer migrants arrive in the area and it is also the breeding season.
Find the Birds
I know this may sound clear; however a lot of bird watchers spend most of their birding time and energy at poor locations. Therefore you need to know the locations where to find the birds based on the time you are visiting. For example during the summer all you have to do is find a dam in the National Park and wait for birds to come and drink on a hot day. In autumn the birds can be found in the areas that are flowering, while in the spring visit the regions where you can find some open land like on the park’s edge and you will find various species.
