Urban birding is great. People saying you see the best birds in Rural areas. I mean don't get me wrong being out in rural areas is great but you can also see some great birds in Urban areas. So if you do lie in an Urban area remember you can still see great birds. Even in urban areas you get nature reserves. As long as your having fun and learning it doesn't matter. If we want more people to take interest in nature then we really need to push people in urban areas to get outside and look for wildlife, not just birds. The reason is simply because more people liive in urban areas than rural areas: 86 percent of the UK population live in urban areas and 17 percent of the UK population live in rural areas. Sorry for a rant but I'm just sharing my views.
