In this episode, I am joined by Harry Boorman, who embarked on a big year around New Zealand in 2021! We discuss how it all went, touching on the highlights and best moments of the big year, as well as the challenges Harry faced and his regrets looking back. Other topics we talk about are Harry's upcoming book about his big year, scopes vs. cameras, the mysticism and uniqueness of NZ and its birds, and navigating family and work commitments with regards to birding. Thank you Harry for your time and enthusiasm!
