| 6/22/26 | ![]() TBL Podcast - Season 14 Episode 8 - The Wildlife Photographer's Guide to Better Birding | One of the things I love about birding is that there are so many different ways to enjoy birds. Some people love chasing rarities. Some people love atlasing. Some people enjoy bird photography. Others simply enjoy spending time in nature.My guest today is someone who has spent decades behind a camera. Rory Baker is a professional wildlife photographer, photography educator, and founder of Rory Baker Photography. Over the years, he has photographed everything from wildlife and birds to architecture and commercial projects, while helping hundreds of photographers develop their skills.What makes today's conversation particularly interesting is that Rory doesn't come from a traditional birding background. He isn't chasing the latest rarity or obsessing over a life list. Instead, he approaches birds through the eyes of a photographer.And that raises an interesting question.What can birders learn from photographers?As we chat today, you'll hear how photography teaches observation, patience, and attention to detail. We discuss why the best place to improve your bird photography might be right outside your back door, why buying a new camera won't automatically make you a better photographer, and why spending time with common birds can actually make you a better birder.Even if you have absolutely no interest in photography, I think you'll find plenty of value in this conversation. At its heart, this episode is about slowing down, paying attention, and learning to appreciate the birds that are often right in front of us.So grab a cup of coffee, sit back, and enjoy my conversation with Rory Baker.Visit our online store to get your birding related merchandise at great prices https://www.thebirdinglife.com/online-storeIntro and outro music by Tony ZA https://soundcloud.com/tonyofficialzaLinks from show:Rory Baker Website https://www.rorybakerphotography.com/photography-school | — | ||||||
| 6/21/26 | ![]() YWP Podcast - Season 6 Episode 4 - Small Actions, Big Impact: The Fight for Pangolins | Today, Gabby Sykora is joined by Dr Kelsey Skinner, Executive Director of the African Pangolin Working Group, for a powerful conversation about conservation, perseverance, and one of the world's most threatened mammals.Together, they explore the work being done to protect pangolins from illegal wildlife trade, the challenges of rescue and rehabilitation, and the growing efforts to secure a future for these remarkable animals.Dr Skinner shares insights into the African Pangolin Working Group, the realities of working on the frontlines of conservation, and the inspiring story of Kulu, a young pangolin whose journey from trafficking victim to life in the wild captured hearts around the world.Beyond the pangolins themselves, this conversation is a reminder that conservation is made up of many moving parts and that meaningful impact often begins with the smallest actions.Whether you're passionate about wildlife, conservation, or simply trying to find your place in making a difference, this episode offers an inspiring message of hope: just because you can't always see your impact, doesn't mean it isn't thereVisit our online store to get your birding related merchandise at great prices https://www.thebirdinglife.com/online-storeIntro and outro music by Tony ZA https://soundcloud.com/tonyofficialzaLinks from show:Insta: https://www.instagram.com/africanpangolinconservationWebsite: https://africanpangolin.org/ | — | ||||||
| 6/15/26 | ![]() TBL Podcast - Season 14 Episode 7 - The Future of Birding is Here - Liam Botha & Connor Barr | If you're listening to this episode on the day it is released, tomorrow is Youth Day in South Africa. It is a day when we celebrate the young people of our country, and for this episode, I wanted to hand over the microphone to two young people who are making a difference in the world of nature and conservation.My first guest is Liam Botha. Liam is a birder, herper, wildlife photographer, artist, and YouTuber. Despite his young age, he has already developed a deep passion for the natural world. In our conversation, Liam shares how a love of snakes, nurtured by parents who encouraged him to get outdoors and explore nature, eventually grew into a broader passion for wildlife, including birds. It is an honest and inspiring conversation that offers a glimpse into the world through the eyes of a young nature enthusiast.My second guest is Connor Barr, an ornithology student at the FitzPatrick Institute of African Ornithology at the University of Cape Town. Connor is already contributing to important ornithological research, and in our conversation we explore everything from bird identification and taxonomy to conservation science and the fascinating work he is doing on larks. This is one of those interviews that goes far beyond birding and offers a fascinating insight into how science helps us better understand and conserve the birds we love.While this episode is built around Youth Day, it is about much more than that. It is about passion. It is about curiosity. It is about the power of spending time in nature. Most of all, it is about hope for the future.If young people like Liam and Connor are the future of birding and conservation in South Africa, then I think we have every reason to be optimistic.So sit back, enjoy the conversation, and let's hear from the next generation of nature lovers on this special Youth Day edition of The Birding Life Podcast.Visit our online store to get your birding related merchandise at great prices https://www.thebirdinglife.com/online-storeIntro and outro music by Tony ZA https://soundcloud.com/tonyofficialzaLinks from show:Liam Botha links:Instagram profile https://www.instagram.com/liambotha_wildlifeYouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/@liambothawildlifeWebsite https://herpsa.co.zaConnor Barr links:Connor's Fitzpatrick page link https://science.uct.ac.za/fitzpatrick/contacts/connor-barr | — | ||||||

| 2/6/26 | ![]() YWP Podcast Season 5 Episode 1 - When the Wild Pushes Back: Returning to a Wounded Kruger | As a new season of the YWP Podcast begins, Gabby returns to the Kruger National Park under very different circumstances.Recent floods have left parts of Kruger damaged, roads washed away, and access limited and this is a powerful reminder that even places we see as timeless are shaped by nature’s force. In this opening episode, Gabby reflects on what it means to move through wild spaces on nature’s terms, drawing from a chaotic teenage camping trip to Pafuri and contrasting it with the reality of returning to a park in recovery.This episode explores resilience, uncertainty, and the uncomfortable questions around conservation, access, privilege, and patience. It asks what it really means to love a place when it is wounded and whether we, as visitors, are willing to slow down and listen.Visit our online store to get your birding related merchandise at great prices https://www.thebirdinglife.com/online-storeIntro and outro music by Tony ZA https://soundcloud.com/tonyofficialzaLinks from show: | — | ||||||

Faansie has played a massive role in shaping how we see and understand birds in this region, from field guides to bird calls to digital tools.In this first part, we explore Faansie’s early birding journey, how his relationship with listing has changed over time, and how deepening your connection with birds can transform the way you bird. We also get into the importance of sound recording, what it means to truly know a species, and how fieldcraft and storytelling go hand in hand.This episode is proudly associated with Firefinch App. Firefinch is more than just an app. It's a celebration of Southern Africa's birds, birders and wild places.
