Bird Watching (Birding)

Its a scientific hobby that can give immense pleasure to its practitioners.(an illustrated guide to the birds of sri lanka - Sarath Kotagama/Gamini Ratnavira) 
It is a meditation. You can be there, where a bird feeds, you can be there, where a bird flies, you can be there where a bird rests, for hours.
