#75 Casual Birding during Lockdown  
Podcast: The Casual Birder Podcast
Published On: Sun Mar 29 2020
Description: In March 2020 life has suddenly changed for all of us. The COVID-19 Pandemic has meant the closure of parks and reserves, self-isolation and social distancing.   The first part of this episode talks about some of the things we can do to stay in touch with nature with ideas for those who might be casual birding for the first time. If you want to avoid hearing about the current crisis, please jump to 11:30 to hear about our regular casual birding sightings. And the Last Call segment this week features dawn songs from my suburban garden. _________ Links: Latest advice on COVID-19 World Health Organisation RSPB Guide to Birdwatching Bird Academy The Cornell Lab All About Birds article about online resources Lev Parikian: Bird Song project Champions of the Flyway Hannah and Erik Go Birding Podcast and Global Women’s Big Day Vibrant Visionaries Tea and Strumpets Dan Rouse Webcams https://www.nottinghamshirewildlife.org/peregrine-cam https://www.rspb.org.uk/reserves-and-events/reserves-a-z/loch-garten/live-video-webcam/ For more about the birds mentioned in this episode, with videos and sound clips, visit the RSPB Bird guides: https://www.rspb.org.uk/birds-and-wildlife/wildlife-guides/bird-a-z/   The Casual Birder Podcast   https://casualbirder.com/   Don't miss an episode - subscribe to the show (Subscribing is free) Follow me on: Twitter Instagram or join the Facebook group   You can also follow me on Podchaser and leave a review if you enjoy the show.   Thank you to Randy Braun for designing the artwork for the show.
