I am a puzzled, I don't think the bird/nature watching really describes what I do. The natural crafts I do, but not as much as plant and fungi eating, which is not on the list. I don't hunt or fish because like Jodie I am a townie and hunting is country skill which I have never had the opportunity to learn But I would dearly love to learn.
As a forager I always feel the don't walk on grass type of nature-watcher, don't understand how nature works. I hate bird reserves because i cant look at the plants. If the plants weren't there the birds wouldn't be either. I suppose it is the same as townies not understanding the various types of hunting and the effect it has on the balance. IMHO the best way of understanding an ecosystem is to be part of it.
