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.”

Martin describes himself as a casual birder, and we had a lovely stroll around the park, just noticing the birds that were around.

Along the way I heard about some of the birds that Martin has seen on...

This week, I go birdwatching in Regent’s Park, there’s a trip report from the Isles of Scilly by my husband, John, and Friend of the Show, Alan, gives us an update on the Cardinal family in his garden in Savannah, Georgia.

Note - the bird walk in Regent's Park was recorded there and there will be background noise...

This week, I take a lunchtime bird walk and the featured birds are Wrens - the Eurasian Wren that is found all over Europe, and the House Wren and Bewick's Wren, that I saw in California.

A special mention is given to the Superb Fairy-Wren seen in Eastern Australia.
