I have never heard of bird watching. [He leads the way down to the river as he speaks.] So, you hide and wait for the birds to get closer to... make it easier to catch them?

[It made sense. Birds could be tricky.]

Hm? No? We will spear them.

Here. We should leave our shoes. Unless you do not mind them getting wet. [He paused at the river bank to pull his shoes and socks off, not bothering to roll up his pants. They'd be getting wet no matter what.] Now, move slowly and stay where it is a little shallow. Keep your eyes open and if you see movement, be quick, and stab at it.
