Jeremy Clarkson Publicly Embraces Bird‑Watching After Years of Keeping Quiet

He says new research shows many 16‑to‑29‑year‑olds now take part.

Overview

  • Jeremy Clarkson used his Sun column to say he is a bird‑watcher after keeping it private for years.
  • He said he once feared friends would shun him and bosses would cancel him if he spoke up.
  • He cited research that says 750,000 people aged 16 to 29 watch birds, which he says makes the hobby feel cool.
  • On his Diddly Squat Farm, he noted spotting a great grey shrike and a corn bunting, and the RSPB says shrikes are scarce winter visitors that defend territory.
  • He also posted that crows killed a lamb on the farm, highlighting the harsher side of daily farm work.
