Field notes
The notebook organizes beginner practice around a repeatable city route: assess size, shape, behaviour, and habitat, then confirm with a few field marks. It recommends the hour after sunrise, explains why 8×42 binoculars are a general-purpose choice, and treats ethics as part of identification practice. The guidance also covers privacy-sensitive reporting, asking readers to share a park rather than the exact tree when a species could attract harmful attention.
