    The Casual Birder Podcast

    Suzy shares the joy of watching wild birds, from her garden visitors in southern England to birds seen internationally.
    Learn how to identify species, notice their behaviours, and recognize songs and calls.
    Join Suzy for recorded bird outings, interviews with experts and enthusiasts, and stories from birders around the world.

    Suzy says: “Birding is a great pastime. It can be done with others or alone. You don’t need expensive equipment, your eyes or ears are enough. And best of all, the Casual Birder can do as much or as little birding as suits them. It’s perfect for fitting into our busy schedules.”

    #99 Global Big Day 2021 May 17, 2021
    Show notes

    On May 8th 2021, bird watchers around the world took part in the Global Big Day. This 24-hour event encouraged birders to see as many species as possible within their local area.

    The Casual Birder Podcast entered a team to take part in the event. Members of the team had a range of birding experience, from novice to expert, and saw 430 species in locations in Australia, UK & Europe and North America.

    Hear about Suzy's experience of the Big Day where she saw 54 species, visited two RSPB reserves and did a spot of garden bird watching from the bedroom window in the morning.

    #96 Meet My Garden Birds, Hampshire, U.K. Apr 12, 2021
    Show notes

    This week's episode was originally created for International Podcast Month, September 2020, and released on their podcast feed.

    Over the past year, many of us have been seeking solace in nature. As I have remained at home much of the time since the lockdowns began, my garden birds have provided interest and distraction.

    In episode 96, I provide an audio portrait of the 13 bird species that regularly visited my garden during 2020, including: - what they look like, - how they sound, and - some of the behaviours and interactions I've noticed.

    If you live in the UK, this episode will help you to identify some of the more common birds found in our gardens and parks. Wherever you live, I hope it will encourage you to look more closely at your own local birds, and maybe consider keeping a journal of their appearance and behaviours.
