A few years ago I noticed that I couldn't name most of the birds that I see, even some of the more common ones. This made me really embarrassed and I set out to correct it by learning to identify every single bird species native to my home. I started building an Anki pack but it wasn't a high priority and I am lazy, it is still not finished yet. Even worse: it is not very effective, I keep getting them wrong and it's kind of painful in general. With the lock-down I thought it was time to finally get over with it and learn about birds properly, connecting their appearances to a little more knowledge about them will surely help. I started reading and watching some documentaries, and when I saw the opportunity with ACM I searched for "ornithology".
I never did birdwatching before but now with the lock-down I do spend some time of my workday staring out of my window, I even started writing down the species I see. Does that count?
