For those of your outside of Ireland - Birdsong is still available to view online for a little while, as is the live Q&A we did after the online screening! It was a really lovely chat.

We've just published our latest report: COLLATERAL DAMAGE, highlighting the widespread poisoning of birds of prey in England by the misuse & abuse of rodenticides. Govt scheme to reduce exposure has failed. Read the report: wildjustice.org.uk/general/coll...

This BBC radio documentary is a thing of beauty. It’s about a sound recordist in the primeval Polish forest, Białoweiza. Listen to it in the bath. Listen to it in the car alone, with the windows wound up. Turn up the volume. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p...
