To get started, all you need is a pair of binoculars and a species identification guide, and voilà: anyone can enjoy birdwatching. This English word, now part of the Italian vocabulary, means observing birds in the wild, in their natural environment. It is a hobby that can be enjoyed in all seasons and everywhere, even in our cities, because all environments are populated by numerous species.
In Veneto, birdwatching enthusiasts will find many areas where they can pursue their passion, in a variety of climates and environments that allow for the observation of over 400 species of birds.
