ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
The robin in your garden can see the Earth's magnetic field. The jay on your fence post has been quietly building Britain's oak forests for thousands of years. The swift over your street hasn't landed in two years.
These are the birds you see every day. And most people have no idea what they're actually doing.
I'm Wren, and this is BIRDZNERDZ — a British birds podcast that takes the familiar and makes it extraordinary. Every episode, one bird, the full story.
