Listen from Australia and love hearing all about your birds and how well connected the birding community is over there. Only just found the podcast so got a lot to listen to! Keep it up
A fab birding podcast, which presents interviews and special topics from around the world, but with a special focus on South Africa. Learn how to refine your birding techniques, hear trip reports from local birders, interviews with international experts, and discover the wonderful birds found in key African habitats. Always fascinating!
Really enjoyed most of the episodes so far. They’ve got me really excited to get out Birding once the lockdown is over.
Really enjoy this podcast! Thanks Adam!

Great to learn about the people behind the well known names and hear their insights, tips and advice and sharing their vast local and international knowledge. Well done, and keep the podcasts coming!!
