This week Abbie and Imogen investigate a very specific life event: Why does turning 30 make you suddenly interested in birds?!
A biological clock but for binoculars? We’re joined by wildlife photographer Georgia Barker (@NatureWithGeorgia), who went from “typical Essex girl in Ironappa” (her words..!) to fully-fledged birder, and is now on a mission to rebrand birdwatching.
In this episode we discuss:
🦅 The “Nigel Thornberry” stereotype vs the Vogue-approved birding glow-up
📸 How to start wildlife photography on a budget
🌿 Why birdwatching is meditation for people who hate meditating
🇬🇧 Why the UK is wildly underrated (yes, even compared to New Zealand)
🦆 The “Adult Pokémon” thrill of spotting rare species
✨ Why being bad at a hobby is actually the point
