Many young Brits are buying binoculars in hopes of encountering one of nature's most physically and audibly beautiful creatures - birds. You might think of birdwatching as an old-fashioned pastime most often enjoyed by the generations before you, but surveys conducted by the RSPB show a 47% increase in participation overall, with an even higher 1,088% surge by Gen Zers. So why do so many young people want to flock to the park to watch birds?许多英国年轻人购买双筒望远镜，希望能邂逅自然界中最美丽、最美丽的生物之一——鸟类。 您可能认为观鸟是您的前几代人最常享受的一种老式消遣，但 RSPB 进行的调查显示，观鸟总体参与度增加了 47%，其中 Z 世代的参与度增幅甚至更高，高达 1,088%。 那么为什么这么多年轻人愿意涌入公园观鸟呢？A group leader at RSPB Bristol highlighted how many students have joined his outings. He mentioned that some who join have 'never been out in their local nature spaces' and 'want to explore'. He added that the diversity of species you can find is impressive 'considering it's so urban' around the city. There is also the rise of a desire to disconnect from technology and go outside, or as Gen Z would call it touch grass, to help with mental health. Research from the University of Surrey has looked at how bird sounds restore attention and even alleviate stress.布里斯托尔皇家鸟类保护协会的一位小组负责人强调了有多少学生参加了他的郊游活动。 他提到，一些加入的人“从未去过当地的自然空间”并且“想要探索”。 他补充说，“考虑到城市周围是如此城市化”，你可以发现的物种多样性令人印象深刻。 人们越来越渴望摆脱科技的束缚，到户外去，或者正如 Z 世代所说的“接触草地”，以帮助心理健康。 萨里大学的研究探讨了鸟叫声如何恢复注意力，甚至缓解压力。Ironically, when interviewed by BBC Bristol, individuals mentioned how phones and social media have actually helped encourage the hype of this hobby. There are now a variety of apps in which you can record a birdsong and have it instantly identified. People also use social media to share knowledge and location for birds. A phenomenon known as 'bioblitzing', a combination of bio and blitzing, has emerged. This is when a walker documents as many birds and other species of animals as they can within a limited amount of time. It has been said to create a safe space in which birdwatchers can get into friendly competitions over who can spot the most! Furthermore, a buzz around the birdwatching hashtag has cultivated humour around turning 30 and entering your 'birdwatching era'.具有讽刺意味的是，在接受 BBC 布里斯托尔采访时，人们提到手机和社交媒体实际上有助于鼓励这种爱好的炒作。 现在有多种应用程序可以让您录制鸟鸣声并立即识别。 人们还使用社交媒体分享鸟类的知识和位置。 一种被称为“生物闪电战”的现象已经出现，它是生物和闪电战的结合。 这是指步行者在有限的时间内记录尽可能多的鸟类和其他动物种类。 据说，它创造了一个安全的空间，观鸟者可以在其中进行友好的竞赛，看看谁能发现最多！ 此外，围绕观鸟主题标签的热潮在 30 岁左右进入“观鸟时代”培养了幽默感。Whether it's the chance to reconnect with nature, improve mental wellbeing, or join a growing online community, birdwatching is no longer seen as a hobby reserved for older generations. Young people are embracing it in record numbers, using both technology and the outdoors to discover the wildlife on their doorstep. From identifying birdsongs with apps to competing in bioblitzing challenges, a modern twist has transformed the pastime into something fresh and accessible. It seems that for Gen Z and young millennials alike, birdwatching has become a hoot.无论是重新接触大自然、改善心理健康还是加入不断发展的在线社区的机会，观鸟不再被视为老一辈人的爱好。 越来越多的年轻人热衷于利用科技和户外活动来探索家门口的野生动物。 从使用应用程序识别鸟鸣声到参加生物闪电战挑战，现代的转变已将这种消遣变成了新鲜且易于理解的东西。 对于 Z 世代和年轻的千禧一代来说，观鸟似乎已经成为一种热门话题。

Having scored more than 200 goals for his local club, based in a small village in Somerset, Callum Hodge can say with confidence that he's made his mark in grassroots football.Millions of men across the U.K. play at a similar level every week - but Callum's story is unusual. He came out as gay in his early 20s and has carried on playing into his late 30s. He's yet to meet another player at this level who's out as gay or bi to everyone in their county league.Callum knows that homophobic language is a major reason why the vast majority of gay guys like him remain hidden in football. But with his team, Chew Magna FC - who have been amazing allies - he's taking action. They recently walked off the pitch in protest due to a discriminatory slur, with the incident now under investigation.Sadly, it's not the first time Callum has faced homophobia on the field. Now he wants to help bring about change for the benefit of other LGBTQ players, especially those struggling with their sexuality.On this episode of the FvH Podcast, he talks to Jon Holmes about the good, the bad and the ugly of grassroots men's football; why he's extra proud to be an Aston Villa fan; and shares his coming out story, in support of National Coming Out Day on October 11.Links..FA investigates alleged homophobic slur at match (BBC Bristol, 29 Sep 2025) - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c07v0z5ngzdo'Alarming' rise in reports of homophobia in grassroots football highlighted by FvH campaign (Sports Media LGBT+, December 2024) - https://sportsmedialgbt.com/grassroots-football-homophobia-anti-gay-lgbtq-discrimination-disciplinary-reviewThank you for listening to the FvH Podcast - please subscribe, rate, review and share on socials.We're at @football_v_homophobia on Instagram; @FvHtweets on Twitter / X; and you can find us on Bluesky, Threads, Facebook and LinkedIn too.

Please welcome Bristol Broadcasting legend, new talent champion and curator of the "Upload Festival" Adam Crowther to The Good Listening To Podcast: The Story Behind Your Story Show! Adam Crowther presents BBC Upload 7-10pm every weekday on BBC Radio Bristol - which he's presented since October 2018.He has worked as a broadcaster and presenter across live events and radio as well as live streams and videos for BBC iPlayer.  Adam has spent most of his presenting career championing, encouraging and celebrating new talent - from musicians to writers, comedians and bloggers, Adam loves celebrating talent.Adam is also an award winning social media expert. He's managed social media brand accounts for the BBC (BBC Radio Bristol, BBC Breakfast and BBC Introducing in Shropshire) as well as a children's charity in Birmingham. Adam has also created content for BBC Two and BBC masterbrand instagram accounts, covering premiers of Peaky Blinders and Blue Planet II.“ Today you are youThat is truer than trueThere is no one alive Who is you-er than you.”  The one and only Adam Crowther is inspired by these simple words from Dr Seuss. The choice reveals a lot about the broadcaster and his 24 carat authenticity. He appreciates honesty, expressed in accessible language. He is not 'hoity-toity' and has never wanted to be either. OK, he was cheeky in school. Yes, he sang in a band. And yes at 16, he was chosen to show the Prime Minister - Tony Blair! - around his school. On request, he even made the PM a cup of tea, under strict security supervision. After university in Aberystwyth, where he studied Drama, Adam became a Youth Worker and grew into becoming a pioneer broadcaster with BBC Bristol via BRMB In Birmingham. And this, despite underselling himself relentlessly at his first interview. Adam learned his lesson quickly and by way of reference, quotes Ray Charles's mother in the biopic: “ I tell you once. I help you if you get it wrong. After that, you're on your own.“ Adam was allowed that second chance and made the most of it. He pioneered a new take on Social Media strategy and execution for the BBC. He co-created Upload. Over time he has become less shy about banging his own drum - without becoming a secret narcissist. He readily acknowledges the benign influences of his parents, teachers and professional role models. Adam replaced his self-doubt/can't-do stance with a more positive 'can-do' model. He is still only 30 something, now confident enough to be who he is - never happier than when helping others to thrive and shine. To discover their own voices! Adam confesses he is a perfectionist. He appreciates originality and has no time for the ‘near enough is good enough' approach. He knows he has been very lucky and now wants to help create similar luck for others. Adam recently identified himself as bisexual. It is a simple matter of fact. He knows he is a consummate professional, not a drama queen. This lively conversation will convince you of that, right from the start. 

Actor, comedian and Author Ben Miller discusses the colourful, complicated and uncompromising life of William Hazlitt. Born in 1778 William Hazlitt is considered one of the greatest critics and essayists in the history of the English language, but for centuries, his life and works were lost in the shadows. He was an advocate of universal rights and civil liberties, and a fierce opponent of pomp and power. He railed against slavery, believed strongly in the power of the imagination, and said, 'The love of liberty is the love of others; the love of power is the love of ourselves'. But he wasn't without his own demons and fell out of public favour. Rumours of gambling, sex addiction and adultery challenged his reputation. In recent years scholars have debated his life and works and a renewed interest in his essays has emerged. Ben Miller plays Lord Featherington in Bridgerton, and he wrote and starred in The Armstrong and Miller Show on Channel Four. With expert contributions from Dr Uttara Nataragen, a founding organiser of The Hazlitt Society and editor of The Hazlitt Review. Presented by Matthew Parris Produced by Nicola Humphries for BBC Bristol

In the spring of 2016, TV Cream sat down with Johnny Ball to talk about his 50-year career in show business. We're making the podcast available again today in the hope it might provide some cheer. In this one-off, Johnny Ball really does reveal all. Such as... How Bob Monkhouse took umbrage when he thought Johnny was stealing his gags; how Johnny's big break on The Val Doonican Show went spectacularly wrong; why he originally balked at the idea of presenting Play School; how a dreadful experience on Yorkshire TV spawned the creation of Think of a Number; the reason why the scene dock doors in BBC Bristol have a chunk cut out of them; why Play Away became a more lucrative writing gig than anything the LE department had to offer; Johnny's ill-fated sojourn to Central Television; and - and! - what went wrong on The Terry & Gaby show!
