Ep 53. Billy Heaney - WWT Slimbridge
from Rock 'n Roll Birder
In this episode of Rock ‘n Roll Birder Podcast, I head to the legendary WWT Slimbridge with top birder Billy Heaney — and it turns into one of those unforgettable days. It’s the 80th anniversary year of the Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust, founded by the iconic conservationist Sir Peter Scott, and there’s no better place to celebrate than this world-famous reserve on the Severn Estuary. Highlights from the day: FOUR lifers including the elusive Jack Snipe Stunning winter views of Bewick’s Swans And a surprise encounter with wildlife legend Michaela Strachan If you love UK birding, rare waders, wildfowl spectacles and proper conservation heritage — this one’s for you.
