About This Podcast
Join Matt Spracklen, the Rock ‘n Roll Birder, on a weekly birdwatching walk. In each episode he’ll either be joined by a guest who has turned their love of birds & wildlife into their profession, or he’ll be joined by his wife, Sarah, who is a budding amateur excited to learn throughout the series. The Rock ‘n Roll Birder will take you with him to sites and reserves across the UK to discover more about the amazing bird species our country has to offer. Whether you’re a birding novice or a seasoned twitcher there’s fun to be had with us on the Rock ‘n Roll Birder Podcast.
Send your birding questions to [email protected] and we’ll answer them on the pod!
