Tag:viewpoint=birdwatching

This tag is used in conjunction with tourism=viewpoint and can be used for places specifically created for birdwatching. This could be a leisure=bird_hide but can also be used for places without a hide/shed/screen such as parking places/hills with information panels about birds or binoculars/telescopes for public use. Sometimes there are parking spaces specifically created to facilitate birdwatching. As long as ground truth indicates that the place/viewpoint is meant for birdwatching it is OK to add tourism=viewpoint and viewpoint=birdwatching

place for birdwatching with birdwatching-specific information panel and parking space for cars
