Hello! And welcome to Wilder Skies the podcast… The place where we talk Birds, Wildlife and all the hard hitting Conservation topics on the top of everyone’s minds…

Okay guys here’s a freshly edited episode of ‘Wilder Skies the Podcast’ for your ears!...

This one was recorded a while back, with the epic Ajay Tegala…. Where we discuss his life as a wetland ranger (and his publications to go with!), his endless passion for fenland natural history, disturbance in nature, race and conservation, amongst many other topics…

I must apoloigse first and foremost as was rather ill during this recording, and my asthma quite lared up, so my side of the chat sounds horrendous and very laboured. But hopefully listening to this chat you can get a grasp of how incredible Ajay and his work is, and pick up his infectious passion for what he does. What an amazing human being…

Hope you enjoy it, Ajay’s side anyways! Cheers guys…

On this week's short, sharp episode i'm honoured to have Dominique Waddoup from the company BirdShades on with us...

Birdshades is an inivative company doing groundbreaking work, creating invisible-to-human window film that prevents birds colliding with them.

Bird strike, whereby birds collide with windows, often fatally, is a huge and growing problem for migratory birds right across the globe. So to hear about positive change to help try and reduce these pressures is truly refreshing...

Join us for a brief chat on who the company is, how it's helping birds as well as some of Dominique's favourite local wildlife to Austria...

Have a listen, let me know what you think, and I really hope you guys enjoy...

This week, back to normal episodes, continuing with the remainder of S.2, i'm delighted to say i'm joined by the conservation and environmental campaigning powerhouse that is Mary Colwell!...

I felt a bit starstruck chatting to Mary it has to be said, with the insane and inspiring work she's achieved and continuing to achieve for wildlife, in particular Curlews, across the UK...

Mary gives us a delightful insight to her route into conservation, all about her work with Curlews, the upcoming work on getting the Natural History GCSE into schools, as well as more pressing topics, but important ones, such as predator control and urban pesticide use...

Come along and delve in as we get to know the truly inspirational beacon of hope that is Mary Colwell, and how beginning with Curlew, we can progress to putting nature back into our countryside, towns, children and society...

Have a listen, let me know what you think, and I really hope you guys enjoy...
