Some of Britain's rarest and most extraordinary summer visitors are only just arriving — right now, this month. A flycatcher with perfect aerial precision. A warbler whose song shimmers through ancient oak woodland. A thrush that climbs mountains to breed. A dove whose purring call is disappearing from the British countryside for good. And a tern that flew here directly from Antarctica.

The Owls is an episode of BIRDZ where we get to meet the Barn Owl and the Tawny Owl — birds that hunt in total darkness, recognise their neighbours by voice, and have been woven into human mythology for as long as we've been paying attention to the night.#BIRDZ #BarnOwl #TawnyOwl #BritishOwls #Owls #BritishBirds #UKWildlife #BirdwatchingUK #BritishWildlife #NaturePodcast #BirdsOfInstagram #WildlifeUK #BirdNerd #NocturnalWildlife #OwlsOfInstagram #NatureLovers #BirdConservation #UKNature #WildlifePhotography #NightBirds

We get to meet the bird that crosses continents to raise its family right above your bedroom window — and why it's struggling to find the one thing it needs most: mud.

They fly thousands of miles from Africa to be here. One builds its home from a thousand pellets of mud, right above your bedroom window. The other carves an entire city into a cliff face with nothing but its feet and its bill. The Martins is an episode of BIRDZ where we get to meet the House Martin and the Sand Martin — two birds living extraordinary lives in plain sight, and both under very real pressure. #BIRDZ #HouseMartin #SandMartin #BritishBirds #UKWildlife #BirdwatchingUK #BritishWildlife #NaturePodcast #BirdsOfInstagram #WildlifeUK #BirdNerd #Hirundines #Swallows #Migrants #SummerVisitors #NatureLovers #BirdConservation #UKNature #WildlifeMigration #BritishNature

The herring gull knows when you're watching it. 👁️ It reads human body language, uses bait to lure fish, performs a rain dance to trick earthworms out of the ground, and passes learned behaviours down through generations. It's also lost 50% of its population since the 1970s. The Gulls episode of @BIRDZ is out now — it's not what you think.
