About Ecologists: Bat detectors, counting newts, and protecting the environment

Come and see us at The Clapham Grand on 16th January for our next live show! Ticket's only £15 here: https://link.dice.fm/C09cda047686

Our guest this week is Gav, he's an ecologist, and he has spent most of his career smelling otter poo, counting newts and conducting bat surveys. In this episode, we learn why that is such important work, and about how we can all do simple things to help protect the environment around us. We also learn that Joe has a talent for identifying insects just by the sound they make underground...who knew?
