Birding With Legend Tim Appleton | EPISODE 2

Legendary birder Tim Appleton MBE has been at the forefront of global birding initiatives for decades. In this episode he talks about learning his craft from the great Sir Peter Scott at the WWT’s Slimbridge Reserve, managing England’s iconic Rutland Water Nature Reserve for 40+ years, founding the world-famous British Bird Fair, and his exciting new Global Bird Weekend event in October.

We also discuss ospreys, global bird fairs, Colombian bush plane misadventures, and Chris and Diego give Tim a very special waterfowl surprise.

Highlights:
How were Ospreys reintroduced to the UK?
The extinct Pink-headed Duck - is it still out there?
How many ducks has Tim seen?
Tracking down the Orinoco Goose in Colombia's llanos region (and almost not making it)
Chris and Diego's quest to find the Masked Duck
An invitation to join Tim’s new Global Bird Weekend event on October 17th-18th, 2020.

The Birders Show is for everyone that loves birds, bird watching, nature, science, and travel. Globe-trotting birder Chris Bell and Biologist Diego Calderón-Franco interview the enthusiasts and professionals at the heart of the birding passion.
