Happy New Year Nature Nerds!

After a festive break where I stuffed my face with food on the hour, every hour & drank a rather adequate amount, Into The Wild is back!

They come in a variety of shapes, sizes & colours. They spend the majourity of their time out over the waves & come together in the masses when it's time to get busy! Our first episode of 2022 is of course about, sea birds.

Joining me to dive into their world is naturalist & wildlife photographer Ben Porter. Ben shines some light of how these incredible animals have evolved to live out at such a challenging environment & how the populations of different species are doing. I also had to chat to Ben about the campaign he started along with Lucy Lapwing & Nina Constable called the Plant Pot Parabolic.
