You might have seen recently a story that went viral, the woman who for three months let a baby bird nest in her hair. Of course the real story is a little bit more nuanced and to hear it directly from nature writer and conservationist Hannah Bourne-Taylor might well bring a little tear to your eye, On this episode, and in her book Fledging, Hannah tells the heart warming story of how, lonely and confused in Ghana, she rescued the little finch who in many ways actually rescued her. 

This show wouldn't be possible without some amazing sponsors and for this episode our sponsor is the gorgeous jewellery brand Ana Luisa who create beautiful high quality jewellery using sustainable materials that - in every way – don’t cost the earth.
