Birding sounds like a hobby that requires equipment and early mornings, and it mostly requires only paying attention. Draw a bird and try to see one this month. Some draws are a walk to the nearest park, others are a genuine expedition, and finding out which is which teaches you more geography than it sounds like. Forty-five species mixing garden regulars with the spectacular ones worth travelling for. Children who have never noticed a bird in their lives become obsessed within about a fortnight.
