What should I know about birdwatching etiquette in local parks?

It's important to respect the wildlife and their habitats, so keeping a safe distance from nests and not disturbing the birds is key. • Try to keep noise to a minimum; this helps maintain a peaceful environment for both the birds and other visitors. • If you're in a group, be mindful of how your presence might affect the birds around you, and consider taking turns at the best viewing spots.
