Forest Clearing
A great starter spot. Small songbirds show up often in the morning when the area is calm.

Spot birds across regions without spooking them — learn how sightings work, when to visit each spot, and how to complete your Birdwatching Diary efficiently.
How It Works
1
Unlock birdwatching through DG progression, then meet Luna at the forest clearing to get your binoculars.
2
Go to an observation spot and use binoculars to scan; some birds appear only from specific angles.
3
Time of day matters — dawn and dusk often have unique sightings.
4
Season and weather can change what appears, especially for migratory or storm-only birds.
5
A sighting registers when you observe long enough (or take a photo, depending on version).
6
Keep notes on missing entries and revisit spots when conditions match.
Coastal Lookout
Seabirds and seasonal visitors. Windy or changing weather can bring new sightings.

Mountain Ridge
High-altitude routes tend to have rarer birds. Try a dawn run for the best chance.

Quiet Approach
Avoid running and loud actions. If a spot is empty, do a short loop and return to refresh.
