Nature study of the kind we imagine and fantasize about is very different from the "science" most of us public school graduates probably had. It can feel really overwhelming if you're starting from scratch and have very little knowledge of your local flora and fauna. It felt that way for me initially - but if you just take things slowly and steadily, you will be amazed at what you can learn. You will only wonder why it took you so long to notice all of the amazing things happening right under our noses.
