THE FUSE

South Africa (29 January 2026) – The Birding Life started as a podcast in the midst of lockdown in 2020 by Adam Cruickshank. In six years, it has mushroomed into a world-famous birding resource. This year, it celebrates another milestone by hosting its very first awards ceremony, recognising people, platforms, initiatives and birding-related contributions that have made a difference in the community.
