This week Matt is very lucky to have a walk around the grounds at the British Trust of Ornathology HQ with their Media Manager, Jon Carter. Jon is a life-longer birder and a fellow punk, so they had plenty to chat about! The BTO is such an important organisation and so it was a real honour to hear about some of their important work on this walk – and how you can get involved too!

Make sure to follow BTO on Instagram, X and Facebook.

This week Matt is joined by award winning bird taxidermist, Elle Kaye. Elle is as fascinating as she is talented so we were delighted that she joined us for a birdwatching walk around Surrey’s Chobham Common. Hear all about Elle’s decade-long career, her struggles with social media and her excitement as she spots a lifer!
