Drawing allows to cacth many more details, even though drawing animals in open nature usually requires to jot down very fast the animal before it moves, missing likely some details. It is to be learnt how to jot down the most important information by drawing and taking notes when in open nature. When drawing in black and white it's important to take notes fast about colours - I usually carry a few pencils when stopping and observing nature is part of hiking. Whereas if you're observing, for example, birds at a feeder, it is easier to go back day after day on some details. Photos allow to appreciate the subject as a whole, let you appreciate the colours as a whole and catch fast the setting. And of course a photo allows to go back to it once at home and to draw it any time later.
