The Urban Birder Newsletter
Stay up to date with the latest news
In Conservation With… is a series of Zoom interviews with some of the leading figures in the natural history sector. I will be in conservation with birders, ornithologists, biologists, conservationists, broadcasters, writers, opinion leaders and today’s big thinkers..
The conversations will be factual and intuitive as well as sometimes irreverent and downright silly. The topics to be discussed will range from birding and all that entails to conservation issues, art, music and politics. The ethos behind these sessions will be to leave viewers/listeners enthused and even more curious about our natural world.
Join The Urban Birder World Community here and enjoy the full-length interviews including exclusive Q&A’s!
NEW DATES COMING SOON
New guests to be announced on a regular basis
