Nature under lockdown Part 1 - Backyard Bioblitz

There’s been a lot of talk about how one of the benefits of lockdown which probably kept a lot of us sane, when we were in the depths of it a couple of months ago, was that we got to spend time watching, listening to and learning about nature close to home. We decided to explore this a little over the next couple of podcasts. In this episode I talk to Calum who was involved in running a Backyard Bioblitz, an online project in North East Fife, which encouraged people to look at and record nature around them in early June, at the peak of lockdown. We also chatted to some visitors to Tentsmuir about their experiences of nature under lockdown, and to my pal and botanist geek Helena about her addition to iNaturalist app. Next Backyard Bioblitz is running this weekend 27th and 28th of September. Find out how to join on their Facebook page or Twitter , or email Calum on backyardbioblitz@st-andrews.ac.uk. Try your hand at iNaturalist app to help you identify nature around you - find out more here .
