""When I'm watching birds, I'm not thinking about anything else - it's a moment of peace and a way to reconnect with nature, and with myself. By taking a moment to be curious, to watch, listen and learn, you open yourself up to endless small moments of wonder.""
""It's brilliant to see so many young people choosing to get into birdwatching. This new research shows that watching birds is no longer a niche or old-fashioned pastime and is attracting a younger, more diverse crowd.""
Birdwatching has become the second fastest growing hobby for Generation Z, with nearly 750,000 individuals aged 16 to 29 in Britain participating regularly. This represents a staggering increase of 1,088% since 2018. Overall, birdwatching has seen a 47% rise across all generations in the past eight years. Millennials have experienced a 216% increase, while Gen X birders have increased by 66%. The trend is attributed to social media, making birdwatching more accessible and appealing to a younger audience.
