Birders’ behaviour during the pandemic (so far)

This open-access publication looks at birders’ behaviour across a large number of countries and, surprise surprise, most birders have been affected by a global health pandemic. It’s not just you who didn’t get out so much!

The paper rightly suggests that citizen science studies will be affected by recent and ongoing movement restrictions but also by the motivation of observers to go out and about. It remains to be seen whether annual surveys such as BBS will have much to report for 2020 when the time comes.

Any table or graph which puts anything to do with the UK in an international context is potentially fascinating and usually gives food for thought.
