Start in your own neighbourhood: a park, lake or garden. Learn the ten birds you see most, such as the myna, crow, bulbul and kingfisher. Carry a notebook or a free bird app, go early in the morning and be patient. Binoculars come later. Joining a local bird walk makes the first weeks much easier.
Pick one spot and visit it at the same time every weekend for a month. Note what you see in a list. You will start noticing calls and habits, and you will spot new birds each season. Do not chase rare birds first. Enjoy the common ones, and ask experienced birders for tips.
