Australia17 days ago - Inspiring and informative
I only started listening this year and I’ve learned so much from Kirsty and her guests. This pod has inspired me to get out birding again - something I haven’t done since being a child (I’m 41 now)!
It’s interesting, easy to understand and follow and provides practical tips to help you bird better.
Apple Podcasts5dinodani02Australia3 months ago - Perfect pod for all bird fans!
I love this show! Kirsty and WB really helped me get back into enjoying bird watching, bird noticing and appreciating what makes birds so special. It’s also helped me focus on the positives, when it’s so easy to focus on the negatives with anything wildlife related.
Episodes are a perfect length and the show’s great for everyone, from beginners to the most advanced birders! Thank you Kirsty!

Apple Podcasts5BronH16Australia4 months ago - A podcast for everyone!
That’s right! Not just a podcast for “bird nerds” or “ twitchers” but anyone who wants to get more from their visits to the outdoors and when travelling. Kirsty is a great host and researcher and so responsive. The topics are interesting, filled with experts in their field and the presentation is engaging and easy to listen to. I now find myself and my family are more engaged outdoorsy people. My favourite podcast!
