Episode Synopsis

Some Ornithological Chat with Mike Thornton and Andrew MatthewsMark talks to Mike and Andrew about the Lothian Mentoring scheme, which gave less experienced birders based at Edinburgh universities opportunities to spend time in the field with, and learn from more experienced birders. We talk about why learning is so important to both individuals and SOC branches/bird clubs. Andrew fails to get the power of flight into Room 101, and Mike reminisces on good times on the Farne islands, and slightly less good times in Abernethy Forest.SOCDIGITAL MEMBERSHIP - https://www.the-soc.org.uk/support-us/join-usSOC website - https://www.the-soc.org.uk/Branches – what’s going on near you? https://www.the-soc.org.uk/local-branchesWhat’s coming up at Waterston house? https://www.the-soc.org.uk/about-us/art-galleryOnline Scottish Bird Report - https://www.the-soc.org.uk/about-us/online-scottish-bird-reportWhere to watch birds in Scotland app - https://www.the-soc.org.uk/about-us/appScottish Birds - https://www.the-soc.org.uk/about-us/scottish-birds-soc-s-journalIntro – Coal tit in song.
