Watching animals in their natural habitat is a very interesting experience. However, if you want to take full pleasure from it, you need to prepare yourself properly. We suggest how to do it.

Good binoculars and a camera are essential

Binoculars will allow you to see what you cannot see with the naked eye. This is why you should definitely equip yourself with binoculars if you want to observe animals in the forest. The most important criterion when choosing binoculars is the type. There are quite a few of them available, so you can choose a universal model or a more specialized one. Which binoculars are best for you? The safest option will be the universal binoculars. As the name suggests, these are binoculars that you can use in many situations. The most versatile binoculars are the 8×42, which are waterproof, have anti-fog coating on the inside and good quality multi-coated optics.

You can also choose a more professional model, i.e. binoculars designed specifically for nature observation. With such binoculars, you will be able to admire even shy or dangerous animals. These wildlife viewing devices are often equipped with a tripod. They are also characterized by high magnification and bright optics with multi-layer anti-reflective coatings. If you want to observe also in the evening, it is worth investing in a model with a larger objective lens, for example 50 mm. Popular versions of binoculars for nature observation are the 8×42, 10×42 or 10×50 models.

In addition to binoculars, it’s also a good idea to bring a camera with you. Especially at the beginning it can be difficult to determine the species of an animal, and the reason for this is very simple – many of them are very shy individuals. A camera is therefore very useful for capturing and documenting your observation and later checking the species.

Comfortable clothes and shoes

When going to the forest to observe wild animals, it is also a good idea to wear comfortable clothing and shoes. It is often the case that despite your original plans to conduct stationary observations, your outing may end up being a few kilometers walk. Comfortable men’s trekking shoes that do not rub and are tested and comfortable will therefore be very useful. It would be good if the shoes are also waterproof. In terms of clothing, remember the famous “onion” method. Additionally, it is always a good idea to carry a rain jacket with a hood.

When it comes to clothes for observing animals in the forest, their color is also very important. When going to the field, try to match the colors of clothing to those found in the environment in which you will conduct observations. Avoid colors that strongly contrast with the natural space and those bright. On a trip to the woods it will be better to wear a black jacket (ideally a morocco one) than a blue or red one

Atlas of birds and other animals observed

At the beginning of your adventure with observing animals in the forest, it is also worth getting an atlas. It will help you correctly mark the species of birds or other animals you observe. This is a great solution that will make the observation not only a nice, but also an educational experience.

How to care for white shirts?
Every man has his favorite white shirt in his closet. However, not everyone knows how to take care of it. Collar, cuffs, sleeves, button fastenings - shirts have a complex cut full of many nooks and crannies that can easily get dirty or damaged. If you're tired of deodorant stains, folds, and other signs of premature wear and tear on this garment, read this article. Here's how to take care of your white shirts. Buy quality shirts First of all, remember that you should always, or at least often, put quality over quantity. A 65% polyester and 35% cotton shirt made in Bangladesh for £50 will not last you for years, even if you try to look after it. Although the price is not a guarantee of quality, it is worth paying attention to the material. Look closely at what the shirt is made of, how it is finished and make a checklist of points to check. When all of these points are "ticked off," you will know that a particular shirt will last with you for at least a few years Don't always wear the same shirt A practical rule of thumb for keeping clothing in good condition is to avoid over-wearing it. Just like with a pair of nice shoes, don't put on the same white shirt several times a week! The more times you put it on, the sooner you'll have to say goodbye to it Choose the right wash program The washing machine is a good friend to men, but it can quickly become your clothes' worst nightmare. For white shirts, try to follow the directions on the label. If you're not sure how to wash your shirt, don't go above 40° and don't wash it by hand. Also take care of the washing cycle, do not overload the machine and pay attention to the colors of the clothes you put into it. Wash white shirts only with other white clothes and use a special white washing powder. If necessary, use a stain remover before washing Avoid the dryer, just use a good hanger Once your shirt is clean, take it out of the washing machine as quickly as possible so that it doesn't wrinkle too much and absorb the unpleasant smell caused by moisture. Even if you have the option of putting it in the dryer, don't. Your best bet is to lay the shirt out on a fairly large wooden rack and stretch its sleeves well to keep them from creasing. This will make ironing easier later Make sure the shirt is clean before ironing Before ironing, take a close look at your shirt to verify that it is clean. If there is still a little dirt on it, wash it again and then let it dry. Stubborn stains can come from laundry detergent if you poured too much of it into the washing machine. Hang up your shirt properly If your shirt is clean and ironed, it's time to put it in the closet. After ironing, wait for the fabric of the shirt to cool down. Avoid metal hangers that can distort the sleeves. The hanger should be made of wood or plastic with fairly wide edges and, if possible, rounded on the sides Make sure your deodorant has dried before you put on your shirt Deodorants in beads or sprays provide an "anti-yellow stain" effect. However, yellowish underarm stains can still appear on your white shirt. To solve this problem, remember to wait for the deodorant to dry before you put on your shirt. Wet deodorant should not come in direct contact with the fabric
