RHS Birdwatching Journal

Product Information

I love how you emphasized that keeping a journal is not about skill or even about being extremely precise, but instead its about documenting a personal experience. The Australian Geographic Birdwatcher’s Journal provides a practical, pocket-sized journal for all your bird observations. You may even wish to start a journaling circle among your friends, and compare and discuss your observations over time. We bring that to life here at Conscious Craft by offering you the best natural toys and craft materials we can find.

Using the same ink color over time for the main body of your writing will provide some visual consistency from entry to entry. The final section, Birding Checklists, gives you a place to track backyard birds local to you, a wish list of birds you hope to spot one day, and destinations you want to travel to for bird watching. It is said that the difference between a person who simply enjoys nature and a true naturalist is that a naturalist keeps a field journal. LIGHTWEIGHT AND PORTABLE: Fits easily into a backpack or glove box, allowing for quick access for notes on the go. Many Thinking Tree Journals span a wide variety of ages because the students use books at his/her reading level.One thing is certain: The more often you take a stab at drawing what you observe or imagine, the better you will become at drawing, observing, and imagining. Birding Logs include guided prompts to track key information such as each bird's name, colors and markings, habitat, and behavior, as well as your current location and weather. It’s important that you have lots of fun collecting and using these items, so that you will be less inclined to abandon your journal once the novelty wears off. Choose from a study hardcover option with a hard wearing plain matt cover and 80 lined pages inside. Amateur and professional bird watchers, artists, and philosophers have long kept such records of their thoughts and observations, but now an increasing number of regular folks are taking up the pastime of journaling.

While the field note resides in the realm of the scientist, the nature journal is a way to tap into the creative flow, to generate a meditative tranquillity through a creative act. For example, try pressing a leaf or feather on your stamp pad or brushing it with ink and pressing the item onto your journal page. Although some people illustrate their journals with magnificent sketches or watercolors, there are many other ways to highlight and beautify your entries.Although you may be more of a philosopher than a scientist, you don’t want to miss the thrill of a rare bird sighting. This makes a great gift for someone already into bird watching or for someone who would like to start a bird watching hobby.
