Description
It's time for our now apparently annual tradition of bringing you a How Many Geese? Slimbridge Summer Special!  A whole year to the day that that made our first visit to the Wildfowl and Wetland Trust's flagship reserve in Gloucestershire - we returned with our attentions set firmly on the amphibious. Join us as Kay Baxter, Living Collections Supervisor for the ectotherms, takes us on a behind the scenes tour of Slimbridge's assortment of frogs, toads, newts, salamanders and everything else in between.  Plus - we delve into the simultaneously rarest AND cutest bird we've ever tackled with our pals Birda, as the Spoon-billed Sandpiper is our Birda of the week.    To learn more about our partners Birda and download their free birdwatching app, visit their website at https://birda.app/how-many-geese   For more on the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust, check them out here: https://www.wwt.org.uk/   To support the show by leaving us a donation to help keep growing the podcast, please visit: www.buymeacoffee.com/howmanygeese
