Why garden birds have so much to teach us with Adam Nicolson - Episode 218


Listen Later

There’s a rich, complex, and utterly rewarding natural world that co-exists alongside ours, and relies on our gardens for food and safety – the often surprising world of small garden birds.

This week on ‘grow, cook, eat, arrange’, Adam Nicolson shares insights from his new book, Bird School, which explores the secret life of these tiny avian visitors, so often unfurling right under our noses in our gardens and green spaces.

In this episode, discover:

  • The true reasons behind the dawn chorus, its unique sound and timing
  • What inspired Adam to immerse himself in the world of small birds
  • How birds perceive the world so intricately, in a way that we’re yet to fully understand
  • What we as gardeners can do to help protect our British bird species
