Partnerships and rare breeding birds
In a seamlessly themed episode we talk with RSPBs Senior Investigations Officer. Mark Thomas. Mark tells us exactly what goes into protecting some of Britains rarest birds from disturbance and wildlife criminals such as egg collectors. Mark also discusses how the RSPB and RBA work together to ensure the safe release of news on these rare breeders. We follow that with a chat with Tim Mackrill, Senior Reserve Officer for the Lincolnshire & Rutland Wildlife Trust and who leads the Osprey Project which recently celebrated the hatching of its 100th chick. Lastly we talk about restoring Red-billed Choughs to Jersey with Glyn Young and Liz Corry of Birds On The Edge who are celebrating the first successful breeding attempt by these charismatic corvids in the Channel Islands since the 1920s. As we said, seamlessly-themed.
