Description
Charles and Jon report back from the inaugural mammalwatching meeting in Asturias, Spain. Join us as we watch Brown Bears, Common Genets and Broom Hares and chat with the participants. In a podcast first you can share the ecstasy of people seeing lifer mammals, followed by the agony when one - a water vole - is devoured by a bear before being fully identified.
Notes: The meeting was organized by a Felis, an NGO supporting conservation of the world's wild cats. A report - of both the meeting and the mammals - is coming soon.
Here is the YouTube trailer.
