| 2021: Lockdown Birds |
A curvaceous bird. During Jersey's first Covid Lockdown in 2020 Berni Martin set herself a project to paint a bird every day. Using a box of paints girted to her by a friend she painted on 100 consecutive days sharing these cute little characters on social media. A selection appeared on Jersey Post's stamps in 2021.
It was especially glorious weather in the British Isles for the first lockdown. The traffic stilled and the birds sang their songs into the air.
The Domes of the Eden Project in Cornwall. The site was an old clay pit. It opened in 2000 and fully opened in 2001.. The largest biome houses a rain-forest and the other is a Mediterranean environment. Botanical gardens with plants for temperate climates are outside, the paths curving amongst them. Cornwall has a mild maritime climate influenced by the warm waters of the Gulf Stream and has
micro-climates ranging from tropical-like gardens to misty moorlands.

It is difficult to imagine more curved birds :)
I think there is also a stamp featuring the biodome...
Interesting place the Domes of Eden. The birds are awesome, especially the chubby one.
Those birds are adorable. The domes of the Eden Project look pretty cool.
Great curves! I've heard of the Eden Project. I thought long ago, but then again, 26 years is long ago! I love that fat curvy bird!
