In our first episode we talk about birds we usually spot during our walks in the scrubland in our neighbourhood. We also give some useful pointers which will help you identify them.

Photographs of all birds mentioned in today's podcast are available on our social media feeds. You can find us on Instagram @peregrinator.in and @mariamspicclicks.
