THE POWER OF LOCAL BIRDING | Banishing Travel Pressure

There’s an unspoken pressure among birders and wildlife enthusiasts: the expectation to travel far. Whether it’s long road trips, local flights, or journeys abroad, the assumption lingers that distant travel leads to better sightings and richer experiences. Yet for many of us, time, energy, and resources are finite, making this expectation a quiet weight to carry. Social media only amplifies it - showing where others have gone and what they’ve seen, creating a subtle, persistent pressure to chase the “next big find.” Yet some of the best birding moments can happen close to home 🏡🐦. At Rondevlei, I spotted Greater Painted Snipes 🐦, Little Grebes with chicks 🐤🦆, Glossy Ibis 🦩, and more 💦🌾 — no faraway trips needed! ✈️ Local birding = less cost 💰, less stress 😌, more connection 🌿. Ordinary species can be extraordinary when you slow down 👁️🐦. 🎥 Watch, enjoy, and be inspired to bird where you live 🏡💚.
