There are over 1,250 species recorded; compare this with approximately 250 in Great Britain and 850 in Canada, United States and Mexico combined! With a wealth of different habitats, often close to each other, it's quite easy to record over 300 species in one day. Although many of the birds are brightly colored and exotic looking, they are generally quite easily recognized; within a day or two you will be identifying the various species with ease! Their main habitats include water, open plains, woodlands and farmlands.
