This one’s a special episode. I’m out birding in a Surrey forest with my dad. Early mornings, crisp woodland air, and that feeling that anything could happen… and it absolutely did.

We spent the day deep in the forest tracking down some serious woodland heavyweights. From the explosive power of Goshawks crashing through the canopy, to the subtle magic of Hawfinches quietly feeding high in the trees.

Add to that the distinctive calls of Crossbills overhead, Marsh Tits flitting through the undergrowth, and plenty of classic father-son birding moments, and you’ve got a proper wholesome, high-energy day out in the woods.

This episode is all about connection — to nature, to birds, and to where it all began.

If you love UK birding, woodland species, and those unpredictable magic moments… you’re in the right place.
