Online Birding Community

I've been birding since I was very small but it's always been a private hobby of mine - shared only with close family. It was only recently that I decided to become more of an active member of the birding community and I've loved it so far. There is such an active internet community for birding that it would be a real shame not to engage in.

Now, more than ever I think, is a fantastic time to connect with other birders, with many birders now restricted to garden birding or satisfying their birding fix online. This is the perfect opportunity to take to social media, blogs and other platforms to share birding experiences and connect with other like-minded people who are going through the same withdrawal that non-birders just won't understand!

So please follow me on Twitter @mattcowardbirds and reach out if you're in a similar situation. I'm always keen to speak to other birdwatchers, including those who like myself have previously kept birding as their private passion.

The social side of birdwatching opens up a whole new and exciting side to the hobby, to fill that void that your birding trips have left.

I'd also love to hear of people's ways to enjoy birds and birding without leaving the house - whether it's a lockdown list, digging out old records, simply watching the feeders or some new idea no one's thought of!
