Coronavirus: How the nature responds to the lockdown

Apr 27,2020 12:48 pm

Since we have restrictions on The Way We Live , the air-quality over NI seems to have improved.

With The Absence of traffic on our roads, in nitrogen emissions (exhaust gases) in the UK.

you have perhaps the lack of contrails noticed in the sky, because less people are flying, and the last of the warm weather, it may seem, the sky is blue.

Less light pollution at night makes The Night sky appear clear and full of Stars .

fly With less people, There are fewer contrails in the sky

to mimic, In some ways, suburbia begin, the landscape.

We Are also encouraged to do some exercise every day, and I've noticed some changes in what I see and hear when I was taking my daily walk or run, so I thought I'd ask my followers on Twitter what their experiences were.

people will remember the singing of The Birds that may have been hidden before due to the General Noise and traffic. The Birds have less competition with the now and the Dawn Chorus can go grey on The Way past tomorrow.

Townies noted that more bees, birds, squirrels, foxes, even badgers, not just on walks, But in the garden also.

let's look at the bees, because you have to play such a big role.

I spoke with Emma bee Still bee-Keeper, whose goal is not to produce honey But to help increase bee awareness of the local honey and their importance.

According to Emma, There isn't a definitive answer to the question of whether There are more bees, But in many ways, what is happening is The Opposite of normality.

Fewer people are dying from road bumblebees kill more and more bee colonies are always a good start, But some of the normal food, went to offer for bees and pollinators.

garden centres are not accessible, so We Are plants, not to buy.

also, We Are mowing our lawns, removing dandelions, weeds and Wild Flowers , the natural bee-forage.

The same can be said for other birds and animals.

The Gulls are not so numerous in Newcastle, because the food residues, the set of visitors, and so you are on your fish ' N 'chip remnants from elsewhere.

you may even have to catch your own fish.

people Find that-and this is where you can find garbage cans and, unfortunately, also waste, But also easy prey for rabbits, squirrels, foxes, and even peacocks.

Perhaps for this reason, more and more animals in the parks and Hiking trails, it seems.

whereas, some of The People in the country, the sightings and sounds, are well familiar with this wildlife experience is almost The Opposite .

more and More people over the their homes as suburbia ventures further into the landscape, on your walk, run or bike, and in some cases, this means an increase of noise and waste.

Gulls have become accustomed to the access to easy food sources

So have things changed or is it because our kind has changed life, and we take more note of things that were always There ?

to reclaim the natural Is The City ?

so maybe it's just The People that have gone quiet.

As for the global picture and to say whether it's a slowdown, which says to The Warming of The Planet , the Met Office , it is too early.

you can expect that the increase in CO2 emissions this year, lower than previously expected, because of the coronavirus restrictions - There is less traffic, less production - But it is unlikely that a global reduction of the CO2 levels.
