About this episode

This episode explores the migration of birds in spring and the connections between birds, their habitats, and conservation efforts.

As spring arrives, the skies begin to shift. Birds are on the move—and their journeys tell us what’s changing around us. To take a closer look (and listen) Sean is joined in his garden by artist, comedian and keen birder, Jim Moir and ornithologist and environmentalist Dr Mya-Rose Craig . From the return of the chiffchaff to deeper conversations around conservation, this episode explores the ties between birds, the places they pass through, and the people who care for them including our resident beatboxer and nature sound artist Jason Singh , zoologist and conservationist Megan McCubbin and nature writer Lucy Lapwing, author of Love Is a Toad .
