Birdwatching is the second fastest growing hobby for generation Z after jewellery making, according to a multiyear study of more than 24,000 people.

Almost 750,000 gen Zers (16 to 29-year-olds) in Britain regularly enjoy watching birds, a -1,088% increase since 2018, according to research by Fifty5Blue published by the RSPB.

Regular birdwatching has been embraced by all generations over the past eight years, with a 47% increase overall. Among millennials it has risen by 216% alongside a 66% increase in gen X birders.

This is why I like the sage in my garden, it has started flowering recently and now I can see bees. I should take a picture of them to show future generations what bees were.
