In this episode we talk to Cat Davidson, one of the organisers of the Bruny Island Bird Festival, which is on from the 25th to the 27th of March 2022, and celebrates the birds that make the small island, off the eastern coast of Tasmania, their home. Bruny Island is one the stronghold of the Forty-spotted Pardalote, a bird loved by this show, because of it's unique agricutural tendancies, it's relationship with the manna gum, and the passion of all of the people working for it's survival. Cat has seen a lot of the world, but has made Tasmania, and Bruny Island home, and has a lot to share about the birds of the island, the seabirds and the strong relationship the community has with the birds and wildlife of Bruny Island.
