Description
Being in lockdown has unleashed our love for nature. Goats taking ownership of our streets, deer sleeping on town commons, birds and their song reclaiming our soundscape - a full wildlife drama happening every day in our gardens, streets and countryside for us all to watch.  Many of us want to maintain our new found appreciation of this natural life - and birds offer the greatest escape, literally on our doorsteps and in the skies around us.  This entertaining cross-generational series is aimed at beginners, families and diverse audiences living in both cities and countryside makes birdwatching accessible to all through unique, inspired voices. 18 year old ornithologist and conservationist Mya-Rose Craig is a passionate “twitcher” who has already seen half the world’s birds and is the youngest Briton to be awarded an honorary degree - for birdwatching.  In each episode, Mya-Rose is joined by a celebrity birdwatcher co-host to share their passion and knowledge with a how-to on birdwatching at home, demystifying this relatively inexpensive hobby that anyone can do.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
