I would call it evolving birding.
Having actively birded in Lithuania for quite some years, my former local patch began to bore me a year or so back, which coupled with a new owner who made access rather less than straightforward, meant I effectively gave up on it.
With my land producing all the fruits I could hope for, this rapidly became a general give up on almost all Lithuania completely, thus leaving me where I am today - either birding at the very local scale (ie my land, or even garden for that matter) or travelling outside the country.
I can't really see it going any other way in the near future, other than more international and even less national.
