Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Bonus Ep: Christmas Crossbills - RSPB Farnham Heath
Q: What sort of garden feeder setup would you recommend for someone with a small patio garden?
It's recommended to get a potted bush that can support bird feeders and provide natural food sources, and keep feeders away from areas where cats can reach.
Bonus Ep: Christmas Crossbills - RSPB Farnham Heath
Q: What's the Rock and Roll Birder's guide to nest boxes?
The best option would be to get a Swiftbox, as they are important for providing nesting opportunities since their natural habitats are diminishing due to modern building practices.
Live From Global Birdfair - Day 1
Q: Do you count a year list and if so, what's it up to?
No, I don't keep an annual list but I have seen over 100 species this year.
Live From Global Birdfair - Day 1
Q: What's your strategy for scanning an area for birds?
I stand and watch for birds, listening for sounds and observing movements in the bushes.
Live From Global Birdfair - Day 2
Q: What would it be if you could have the feathers of one bird as your outfit?
I would choose to be a Kingfisher because it would be so camp and brilliant.
