• Know and respect local laws and the peculiarities of the local people.
• Contribute to bird knowledge by sharing your records and observations.
• Take special care when dealing with rare and endangered birds.
• Be an ambassador for birding.
It is recommended to:
• Carry only the essentials in a small backpack, so as to leave your hands free.
• Protect yourself from insects and the sun with clothing that covers your entire body.
• Avoid bright and flashy colors.
• Wear a hat or cap.
• Be well informed about the characteristics of the destination.
• Eat lightly.
• Carry some drinking water.
• Wrap the most sensitive equipment with a plastic bag.
• Plan to go out in groups of at least three people, but not too many.
• Walk in silence.
• Never separate from the group without prior notice or agreement from the rest.
• Avoid unfamiliar routes. Do not approach dangerous edges.
• The most suitable times are dawn and dusk.
