Curlews & Corncrakes with Nick Acheson

Now hear me out. I KNOW I've said in the past that birds are not my thing & I don't find them that interesting.....& they're not & I don't, I stand by that, but I will never underestimate their importance. 

This week I welcome a guest that focuses specifically on 2 UK species to discuss what's happened to them, what's being done for them & why these birds are so important for the UK & it's biodiversity. Birder & naturalist Nick Acheson has a wealth of experience working around the world working to bring people closer to it's wildlife & now, since committing to not flying, he finds himself in Norfolk working to save the Curlew & Corncrake.
