So, after the excitement of last week’s Rugby World Cup Episode – this week we chat about a group of birds that in South Africa are not quite as colourful as the green and gold birds we spoke about last week. But still, this is a group of birds that many birders love and often produces some amazing twitches in our region – you might have guessed it, but we are chatting about waders. I have a chat to Rick Simpson all the way from the UK, who is one of the co-founders of Wader Quest. We chat about awesome waders from around the world, work being done to conserve them, and we find out about this weekend’s Wader Conservation World Watch event.
