@destructive @emu12345 @OM108 @BaggyJeans Don't know what to say. Up and down a bit. Hope destructive you feel some sense of positivity after your session. I'm still unsure. Seem to loose the plot! If only I had a rudder to steer me in the right direction and maybe a good Breeze to keep my head moving forward. From @just Any bird watchers out there? Flying birds not.,... Ok

hi there
i was happy that you linked back to your ongoing post sharing your love of birds.
it kind of gave me a reason to ask whether being in nature and watching/listening to birds can actually give you a sense of that breeze and rudder that you wish for? The sound of bird song is very healing

...our investigation extends this existing literature by demonstrating that everyday experience of birdlife has beneficial effects not only in healthy individuals but also in people with a diagnosis of depression.
...the findings have implications for mental healthcare policy. In recent years social prescribing of nature-based activities, also known as “green prescribing”, has become increasingly popular to support individuals with mental illness including depression. Our investigation supports the notion that visits to habitats with a high degree of birdlife, such as parks and canals, may be encouraged as part of green prescribing efforts.
