FAQ
Q: Where should I go to birdwatch?
A: Botanic Gardens and Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve are good for starters. Actually, if you haven't looked closely before, you'll be surprised at how many birds there are around urban areas.
Q: Whats the best time of the day to birdwatch?
A: early morning (with an emphasis on 'early'). I find also that it is more likely to rain in the afternoon compared to the morning.
Q: What sort of binoculars do I need?
A: Something around 10x magnification represents a good start. The higher the magnification, the more prone to shake. My wife uses a 8x42 and routinely spots more birds than I can with my 10x42.
Q: What other accessories do you find useful?
A: I got a small foldable stool from a $2 shop for $2. It actually fits into outer pocket of my camera bag. A cooler for storing cool drinks is nice but not essential. You can just freeze your drinks in the freezer. After a few hours of birding, the drinks will have thawed to just the right temperature.
Q: Why did you switch from Nikon to Canon?
A: Mirror Lockup and Image Stabilisation
