'In 2026, birdwatching will soar into the mainstream propelled by the winds of popular culture'



A REPORT in UK regional newspapers, including the Grimsby Telegraph, has suggested that there could be a 2026 boom in birdwatching holidays.

It states: "In a fast-paced screen-saturated world, could setting your phone aside and picking up some binoculars to appreciate nature be the perfect way to slow down?"

The article goes on to reference the holiday booking platform, GetYourGuide, who conducted a survey which indicated that 55  per cent of those who responded are keen to try birdwatching on their next trip while 47 per cent "see the pastime as cool".

Its vice-president, Jean-Gabriel Duveau is quoted as saying: "Birdwatching will soar into the mainstream propelled by the winds of popular culture".

American pop star Ariana Grande (32) is said to be an enthusiast on the basis  that she says has the Merlin ID app installed on her phone.
