Although such restrictions tend to broaden up the vision, rather than narrow it down.

A horde of pigeons, a brood of ducks, two swans, a blackbird, a flock of geese, a muster of barn swallows, a lark, a grey heron, a wood pigeon, a magpie, a jay, a crow, a northern goshawk, a gull, a moorhen, a mallard, a swift, a starling and a cormorant.

Birdwatching in Berlin is an activity that stays accessible throughout the whole pandemic boredom. It’s strictly outside the window of course, but somehow helps to mark the days.
