Inspired by my young friends, I am writing a blog about
birds. Though it is designed for young
readers, the young at heart are welcome to read and comment as well.
I am posting sketches of birds which I did when I was young,
some in pencil and a few in water colour.
They may not be perfectly accurate or, to scale but I will also post
links to various sites if anyone wants to find detailed scientific information
about a certain bird.
I write for the love of birds so I suppose I am a little
sentimental rather than perfectly scientific in my writings.
Once you become a friend to the birds, you will want to
know more about them such as how they build their nests, where do they sleep at
night and where do they go in winter.
You may even want to build a bird house or set up a bird feeder and you
will definitely become concerned for avian well being.
Bird evolution dates back to the age of the dinosaurs. Birds have been on this planet very much
longer than humans. We owe them and all
creatures a little neighbourly consideration, but kids and the young at heart
already know that.
I hope my readers will be inspired to take up bird watching
as a hobby. It is a wonderful way to connect
with Nature and who knows perhaps bird watching may ultimately lead to a career
as an ornithologist. (Ornithology is the scientific study of birds).
