Our heroes have an ice cream and indulge in a spot of forest bathing as they search for the ring-necked Parakeets of South Manchester. We borrowed the picture from Mancunian Birder who has excellent content about the ring-necked parakeet on the link below https://mancunianbirder.wordpress.com/2020/05/19/rose-tinted-spectacle-the-pretty-boys-of-manchester/ Find out more at https://birdlife-podcast.pinecast.co This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Episode Notes After another hot tip from our bird pusher (Chris' dad, Mike), we go looking for buzzards. Let's hope it's a bit more successful than our other trips...

Episode Notes The boys separate the Wheatear from the ChiffChaff in this episode as they try and track down the elusive kingfisher. They also end up on a very cold murder trail whilst talking about BMX, not being cool and affairs. They quite fittingly, end up at Nob End. More Kingfisher info on the brilliant RSPB website below where we copied the artwork from https://www.rspb.org.uk/birds-and-wildlife/wildlife-guides/bird-a-z/kingfisher/#:~:text=Kingfishers%20are%20small%20unmistakable%20bright,hovering%20above%20the%20water's%20surface.

Episode Notes We look for Reed Bunting and also the meaning of life as we talk nonsense about maltesers and Kim Wilde. We also encounter a potty mouthed 73 year old mountaineer.
