Lockdown, local patches, wildlife and photography

Here are 2 interesting and timely articles ....

Photograph wildlife on your doorstep: the local patch and why you need one 

Dan Rushton concludes his article by saying:

"This is all possible without the time constraints of travelling long distances. And if nothing more, you’ll be encouraged to get out, explore and appreciate what you have on your doorstep. Nature is free to enjoy and there will always be something to see, something to hear and something to learn."

The joy of small things: daily lockdown walks with a camera

Anna Deacon concludes her article by saying:

"So I encourage you to go out, take a phone, a camera, or just use your eyes. But look up, look down, stop, go slowly, watch the light play on the water, see how the sun haloes around a tree. Take your time and savour this: think of it as a way to calm and soothe your soul. Biophilia is the term for the innate human tendency to interact and connect with nature. It is known to induce calm and good feelings, and we all need more of those right now."

I have recognised the rewards of visiting my local patches for wildlife watching and photography since mid-March 2020 ....

Plan B .... local patch birding (part 1)

Noticing nature is the greatest gift you can get from lockdown
