Swifts are built for the skies! With the longest uninterrupted flight on record, swifts can stay in the air for 10 months straight(!), and will sleep, eat, bathe and even mate whilst flying! So in this episode, I visit a swift hotspot in Brighton with my friend Jack who can talk for hours about his favourite bird. <a href='https://www.rspb.org.uk/birds-and-wildlife/wildlife-guides/bird-a-z/swift/'>RSPB website - swifts</a> <a href='https://www.rspb.org.uk/swiftmapper'>Swift Mapper</a> <a href='https://www.swift-conservation.org/'>Swift Conservation charity</a>

Ep15 - The plight of the Red Kite

This podcast is for anyone who is curious about birds and nature and wants to find out more in a casual and accessible way. In these short features, I chat about the fun and interesting things I’ve learnt about birds and the birdy world since I got hooked 5 years ago. Chatting with friends, enthusiasts and experts from the nature conservation sector, this podcast will explore easy ways to identify birds by sight and sound, and take deep dives into specific species, behaviours and funny/interesting facts. I’m hoping these episodes will help you notice and discover more about our feathered friends – especially if you’re curious about the nature around you but are not sure where to take that curiosity.
