Leave it to beavers, seriously
Hi everyone. We’ve missed bringing you new episodes of The Wild, but that’s about to change. We’re kicking off our third season on April 6th. We’ve got lots of exciting wildlife adventures to share including a trip to Central America and the country of Belize. The jungles are teaming with wildlife there. It’s one of the most bio-diverse places on the planet. I don’t want to give too much away about the trip just yet, but I’ll give you a hint....Jaguars Thanks to all of our listeners who have written to us asking to hear more episodes. We thought this would be a good time to replay one of our favorite most loved shows. It’s about the mighty beaver. Spring is only a few weeks away (March 20) and it’s the time that beavers become more active, after laying low during the long winter. Spring is only a few weeks away and the beavers are getting busy with it for a summer ahead. I hope you're starting to feel it too. So sit back and escape into nature with me as we step into the world of the beaver.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We are all going through some challenging times, a pandemic, for Americans, an election whirlwind...or maybe other things in life. So, we wanted to give you a break, a chance to step away from the stress and into the wild. On this special episode of THE WILD we listen to a dawn chorus in Eastern Washington and ravens off the fog drenched shores of the Oregon coast.These sounds were recorded by Gordon Hempton the Sound Tracker and co-founder of Quiet Parks International.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Great British Birding Show
Kick back for a spot of British birdwatching as I head into the English countryside with twitcher Lee Evans. Lee is an extreme birder and he’s become notorious in a nation of bird-lovers, as the man who’ll go to any lengths to fulfill his bird obsession. Lee has driven 2.2 million miles around the UK and Ireland looking for birds. So far he’s seen 594 different species, but not without some mishaps. I join him for a day in the field to hear more, and to tap into the mind of a really fascinating and knowledgeable man. Enjoy!Recommended links from Chris Morgan:The Diary of an Obsessive TwitcherThe Royal Society for the Protection of BirdsThe Great Backyard Bird CountBird TrackSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
