EPISODE 12 SIGNS OF SPRING

Stephen and Kate are seeing early signs of Spring. They are joined by young naturalist Sorrel Lyall to talk about what it's like to work on North Ronaldsay ringing birds. Stephen also takes a walk on RSPB Scotland's Loch Leven Nature Reserve with Senior Habitats and Species officer James Silvey to see what evidence of spring there is amongst the sleet. Stephen apologises to some ducks and Kate makes a Celtic connection.LINKSInteresting organisations looking at nature and inclusionhttps://www.flocktogether.world/https://www.bootsandbeards.co.uk/North Ronaldsay Observatory https://www.nrbo.org.uk/ Garganey https://www.rspb.org.uk/birds-and-wildlife/wildlife-guides/bird-a-z/garganey/Orkney MPAs https://www.rspb.org.uk/about-the-rspb/about-us/media-centre/press-releases/important-orkney-waters-finally-granted-protection/
