Listening to the sound of birds communicating around you is one of life’s simple pleasures.
'Bird chirping' had become clearer during the quiet lockdowns (one of the positives to less people on the streets) with many of us bending an ear to recall which bird goes with which chirp. With spring now upon us, and longer, brighter days ahead, now is a wonderful time to tune out the hustle and bustle and tune in to bird's tweets.

Bird watching in retirement is popular because of the increase in 'you time' in later life. With less or no time spent at work and more time spent at home, now is the time to take a pause and just listen... and appreciate the sounds of nature in your garden, your balcony or on your daily walk. Birdsong and bird watching can promote feelings of wellbeing, similar to gardening and can be a great way to unwind.

Remember to look out for any rare birds in your garden or on your walk. If you're not quite sure, take a photo and look it up when you get home. The RSPB shows a list of all British birds so you can look up the bird(s) you spotted.
