EPISODE 15 THE SCIENCE OF MIGRATION

Stephen and Kate are joined by Head of Conservation Science Jen Smart to chat about migration. On a steamy day at RSPB Scotland's Loch Leven Nature Reserve the team talk about why birds migrate and some of the mind boggling distances covered. We also delve into Jen's obsession with waders. Stephen shares his recordings of corncrakes in the Hebrides. Kate has been admiring gannets.SHOW NOTESRSPB information on Avian Influenzahttps://www.rspb.org.uk/birds-and-wildlife/advice/how-you-can-help-birds/disease-and-garden-wildlife/avian-influenza-updates/CITY NATURE CHALLENGEhttps://community.rspb.org.uk/ourwork/b/scotland/posts/city-nature-challenge-2022---the-results-are-inCurlew Video at Insh Marsheshttps://youtu.be/w-5LyNSzuMI
