Brand new episode of the podcast released today! Carolyn Robertson of the Cairngorms Capercaillie Project talks about this iconic bird and what is being done to prevent a second UK extinction #lekitbe

What better way is there to spend the Easter 🐣 🐣🐣 weekend than birdwatching, and hopefully finding and recording rare breeding birds to help their conservation? There’s lots to look for in April, so here’s some ideas from RBBP Secretary @markaeaton.bsky.social #ornithology #UKbirding
