Customer Reviews
Interesting and Entertaining
I’ve been enjoying this podcast from the beginning and love the variety of guests. Always interesting. Last week’s episode was excellent in how the listener was able to share in the excitement of finding that rare and vagrant Nordmann’s Greenshank in Cairns. I’m looking forward to the next instalment.
Just what birders want
I like these shows. There’s a good mix of discussions with jobbing birders, interesting researchers, authors and tour guides. Michael explores their character as well as getting interesting birding stories. So far my favourites have to be Peter Harrison (what a coup) and the rare nightjar author.
The Birder’s guide.
Great podcast for Aussie birdwatchers. So far there’s been a great mix of guests. The episodes aren’t too long and aren’t too scientific based. Looking forward to the next episode.
