Bird watching has soared in popularity during the pandemic
Spring 2020, and change is coming. As winter gives way and the sun re-emerges, there’s a heightened sense of wonder in the air. Trees blossom brighter than ever, and birds are noisier.
The pandemic has had a dramatic impact on our relationship with nature. Of course, those blossoms were their usual colour; birds have always chirped. But as millions were forced to stay home they started noticing their surroundings. A walk in the park replaced the rush to the station; a meal in the garden supplanted a visit to the pub.
