Discover the secrets of one of Australia's most loved birds. This episode is about Tawny Frogmouths - how to identify them, what they eat, where they live and how people are working together to ensure they thrive in Australia.

Dr Marian Weaving worked in the community sector for 20+ years. Entering her 40s, she decided to change tracks and follow her passion for the natural world. A Diploma in Natural Resource Management changed her life. This led to an Environmental Science degree... and then Honours... and a PhD on Tawny Frogmouths. She went on to teach at Monash University and share her love of nature with her students. Marian has loved every part of her birding journey, even the difficult bits. She has recently moved to New Zealand, where she plans on continuing her committment to conservation.
