... & what about you
Best birding trips are by far those taken with my wife, as she sees most of the birds and points them to me, while i usually end up fliping stuff.
When going out with other nature lovers, it`s kinda tricky:
- if they are less experienced, i take it on myself to share my knowledge and show them lots of different birds; by the end of the day i am really exhausted.
I then dream of how good birding alone is.
- if they are more experienced, i just nod and smile, and tag along only waiting for him to find me lifer; not too much fun of a trip, but a lifer is worth the effort;
- if their skill and lifelist matches mine, than it`s all good; lots of jokes, a little competitive bidding; ...this people are hard to find though
When i go birding alone, usually in heavy rain or hot summer days, i often end up wishing a less experienced was present.
