观鸟,是指借助望远镜等光学工具,观察自然状态下的野生鸟类。作为一项休闲活动,野外观鸟最早在英国和北欧国家兴起,已有100多年的历史。香港、台湾也有不少爱好者,内地把观鸟作为一项活动是近年才有的事。观鸟体现了一种亲近自然的现代观念,同时是一项陶冶身心、消除疲劳、松弛神经的健身娱乐活动。 Bird watching refers to the observation of wild birds in their natural state by means of optical tools such as telescopes. As a leisure activity, wild birdwatching was first established in Britain and the Nordic countries for more than 100 years. Hong Kong and Taiwan also have many fans. The Mainland has only seen bird watching as an activity in recent years. Birdwatching reflects a modern concept of being close to nature and is a fitness and recreational activity that molds mind and body, relieves fatigue and relaxes nerves.
