Inner city wildlife, with David Lindo, AKA the Urban Birder
from Wild Lives · host Our Media
Look up! You never know what you might see. Our cities have become quite literal urban jungles, as more and more wildlife is drawn to thrive in the increasingly sprawling megapolis. In order to get a grip on what wildlife to watch out for in the city, we turned to BBC Wildlife columnist David Lindo – aka the Urban Birder – to find out how a boy from Wembley forged a career in nature. For David, as for many people in our inner cities, there were many obstacles to overcome in his quest to immerse himself in nature. We discuss these, as well as past lives and enjoy a lesson in why you should always watch where you put your hands in a forest!
