10,000 Birding Steps = A Morning Well Spent!

Sometimes the best birding sessions are the spontaneous walks, an ordinary 10 000 steps kind of day, where you just allow nature to unfold and yourself to experience it as it is. No pressure for photography, neither the pressure for special sightings, just immersing yourself with 10 000 steps of birding. Highlights of the morning were Yellow Bishops on Watsonias and reeds, and a cameo with a Klaas’s Cuckoo. Not rare birds, but they are interesting enough, and fascinating enough to captivate the attention and provide a birding fix. It has become so important for mental health to set the right tone and manage expectations on every occasion. It is also great to know that Birdwatching is not just some weird hobby to the non-birders, but has been recognised officially to be positive influences of mental health and cognitive improvement in articles published by BBC and Cornell Lab - All About Birds.
