In this episode of the Rock ’n Roll Birder Podcast, I head to the fantastic Oare Marshes Nature Reserve in Kent, one of the best birdwatching sites in the UK, for a brilliant day birding with comedian, artist and passionate birder Jim Moir and the wonderful Nancy Sorrell.

Joining us on the adventure are Sarah and Baby Birder, turning the trip into a proper family birding outing as we explore the marshes, looking for winter waders and coastal birds.

During the walk we encounter a fantastic mix of species including Rock Pipit, Water Pipit, Curlew, Turnstone, Avocet and Greenshank, while chatting about bird names, finding robins, and a game he played with Bob Mortimer during the final series of Vic and Bob's Big Night Out.

Oare Marshes is famous among UK birders for its huge numbers of waders and wildfowl, and it’s the perfect place for a relaxed but bird-packed conversation with Jim.

I'm so excited to share this episode with you.

See the amazing birds Jim painted from our walk here!
