Harris Hawks, Ospreys & More! With Sean Bean & Dan O’Neill | Get Birding Podcast EPISODE 17

EPISODE 17: In this episode, host Sean Bean joins wildlife biologist and broadcaster Dan O’Neill at RSPB Ham Wall to discover its remarkable wetland wildlife, from ospreys and marsh harriers to kingfishers and dragonflies! We also meet Donna Davis and Rufus the Harris Hawk, who has worked at Wimbledon, Westminster Abbey and Lord’s, to explore how falconry helps deter gulls and pigeons in urban spaces. Plus! Dr Mya-Rose Craig busts some common birding myths, including why there’s technically no such thing as a “seagull” and whether owls really are wise... Produced by Hana Walker-Brown. The Executive Producer is Jane Gerber.
