Ken chats with good friend of the podcast Julian Hough, about birding culture. This week, Julian tells about the British "twitching" (rare bird chasing) scene when he was a young man. Need to see a bird that's 100s of miles away, but you have no car, no money, and you're on crutches? No problem!   If you wish to support this podcast, please visit our patreon page at: https://www.patreon.com/naturallyadventurous?fan_landing=true Siberian Thrush recording courtesy of Marta Celej, XC666367.
