In this episode I chat to well known South African birder, Duncan McKenzie.

Amongst the topics we discuss in the show:

• The Wood Warbler that showed up in Phalaborwa this past week. Duncan also explains what reverse migration is.
• Duncan's early days of birding and how he discovered a 'brand-new' species.
• The delicate balance between conservation and development.
• The African countries that offer the most for birders and a South American country that is fantastic to bird in.
• The importance of the SABAP2 project and atlasing - including how it provides important data around migration and climate change.
• How the SABAP2 data is used.
• And lots more...
