In preperation for me being able to spend more than the odd hour or so child-free and trying to photograph wildlife/birds, i'm trying to learn more about fieldcraft and getting closer to the animals without freaking them out. As i mentioned in my previous thread, i only have a 70-300mm lens, so getting closer is my best bet for decent shots
So, basics for a beginner? Drab clothing? How do i break up my outline without looking like a complete nutjob to the dogwalkers/members of the general public that happen upon me? Or do i just have to accept that people are going to stop and question me every two minutes about why exactly i'm skulking about in the bushes with twigs on my head?
Any help would be most appreciated. Cost is a concern, but i'm pretty crafty and good with a sewing machine, so diy is an option
Thanks.
