Lund: Martins In The Sand, Warbling Over Land

About this episode

The episode features Dr Violeta Caballero-Lopez discussing her research on bird migration and her passion for art and wildlife.

Today we're back in Lund, Sweden with Dr Violeta Caballero-Lopez for a trip into the world of birds, Phil Collins, and long haired rabbits. Violeta is a doctor in biology and studies the genetics behind migration in birds. She is of course a birdwatcher but also loves watercolours and playing sax. She dreams of studying birds in Africa as it has been a very neglected continent but harbours the most striking diversity of animal species and behaviours.
