Euan, The Edinburgh Birdwatcher, is celebrating 20 years of birding. He tells Suzy about his birding style and what birdwatching means to him.
Also, there’s big news from the Blue Tits that Suzy is watching via remote camera and, in Last Call, listen to a glorious, uninterrupted 5 minutes of dawn chorus birdsong from the Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire.

Global Big Day
On 14th May The Casual Birder Podcast Team will be taking part in
the Global Big Day on 14th May 2022 . I would love you to join
us!
We will all be birding in our own locations, and sharing our
checklists to the team account giving us a combined total of
species for the team.
You do not have to be an expert to take part, and you can bird from
your back garden if you wish.
There will be exclusive team events in the run-up to the Big Day so
sign up now!
