Bears, Birds & the BSAVA Handover

This week on Veterinary Ramblings, Mike Brampton and Julian Hoad catch up on recent adventures, veterinary milestones, and a few unexpected stories along the way.The episode begins with Mike reflecting on handing over the BSAVA presidency before the conversation heads north to Finland, where the pair share highlights from a wildlife photography trip filled with brown bears, wolves, wolverines, and fascinating facts about Arctic wildlife.They also swap stories from a recent expedition around Scotland, discuss an unexpected front-row view of a major NATO military exercise, and, with their usual humour, touch on the ever-changing UK political landscape.The episode wraps up back in the veterinary world with a look at the recent BSAVA Vets Cymru conference in Aberystwyth, celebrating the value of regional events and the first graduating cohort of veterinary students from the University of Aberystwyth.As always, it's a relaxed mix of veterinary chat, wildlife stories, travel, and plenty of good conversation. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
