In this podcast and corresponding Youtube vlog, I discuss the controversial topic of bird lifers. What counts as a lifer, lifer lists, and what happens when science lumps or splits a species.

Trying a VERY long form for a change. Just left the mic running while I walked around. The thought is that people will just like something quiet playing in the background as they go about their daily business. Let me know if you like this sort of thing.

Negative comments that actually help, I do more local vlogs due to fuel costs, and uploading old vlogs but edited better.

A catch up with all this weeks uploads to Youtube, and my trip out to Joydens Wood where I had a spectacular encounter with a red kite.

I spend the day at Foreness Point, and bring you up to date with all the other goings on with my Youtube uploads.

I talk about my first trip to the show, and all my recent vlogs. Go to my Youtube channel to check everything out - https://www.youtube.com/@stormcabbirds

A packed week with my second ever trip to Warnham Nature Reserve, filming the walking route to Gatwick from the local housing area, and documenting some local birds. As always, head over to my Youtube for all the corresponding vlogs and other great videos - https://www.youtube.com/@stormcabbirds

In today's podcast, I go over my little challenge of flying to Faro in Portugal from the UK, doing some birdwatching, then flying home - in the same day. MADNESS. The full vlog with all the visuals is here - https://youtu.be/MZDo7OEcwXg?si=8T2NEdfUtSW8qwWY

I couple of hours spent in a little birding oasis - Southampton old cemetery, while down seeing family. Then I have a good afternoon out observing the local peregrine falcons. Pop over to my Youtube for the vlogs with all the footage & photos - https://www.youtube.com/@stormcabbirds

A couple of new vlogs are up. A rechargeable trail cam, and the latest chest harness video. Even though I've done 2 before, people keep asking about it.
