260. We're on stage at the Global Birdfair with naturalist and geese fanatic Nick Acheson

This week, we look back at the amazing Global Birdfair in Rutland, which took place in July. Plodcast host Fergus was on stage to record some plodchats – and in this episode he meets birder and naturalist Nick Acheson to talk about Nick's passion for geese in his native Norfolk. And what's the best way to raise attention about the state of the natural world? Nick's book is called: “The Meaning of Geese”, published by Chelsea Green. Later, join the Plodcast team in the studio for a round-up of listener messages, nature chat and sounds of the week. The Plodcast is the Publishers Podcast Awards Special Interest Podcast of the Year 2024 and the PPA Podcast of the Year 2022.
