📢“Dim the Lights for Birds at Night!”

🐦For World Migratory Bird Day, follow a small migratory songbird as it is lured into the dangers of the city by intense lights.

[Nora Weyer @NoraW8]

It's World Migratory Bird Day 2022!

#LightPollution has huge impacts on birds. Dimming our lights can help them stay oriented and stick to their migration routes at night. 🕊️

@JustSRnotmyname To quote a wise friend: "Even though you may have to suffer, no-one says that you have to suffer uncomfortably! So lots of yoga, tea [coffee], fresh fruits, flowers, chocolate etc." - and hugs, hugs, hugs. And a trusted friend or editor to proofread your stuff. You can do this!!
