Where to go birding
The best patches, reserves and hotspots for finding birds.
Great birding starts with knowing where to look. This directory gathers the wetlands, woodlands, coastlines and city parks worth the trip — organised by country and region, so you can plan a morning out wherever you are.
We're building it with local venues, reserves and birding partners. Some offer perks for Lifer Pro members, marked with the gold gem below.
