Mystery Bird. It was born in the wake of strict social distancing measures when many of us experienced a renewed interest in our natural surroundings – discerning birdsong again at a time when the world was quietly held at a temporary standstill. Birds are symbolic of hope and our desire for freedom and engagement with nature is widely recognised as inherently positive for humans – making us feel alive and connected to our fragile eco-system.
