Bird calls, especially in cities, have become clearer as curfews and lockdowns become the norm in countries around the world.
“The wake-up call of hadada ibis in my estate in Buru Buru, Nairobi, was always 4.30am, but now because it’s so quiet, it has changed to 6am,” said Jennifer Oduori, a veteran birder and member of the birders’ group at Nature Kenya.
