Geese on Tour: Drum & Bird

How many geese?

How Many Geese has been on the road again listener, this time pitching up at the UK’s biggest nature festival – Global Birdfair!

For this episode, we’re bringing you two chats we had with some very cool people.

Up first is naturalist, TV presenter and time traveller – the legendary Nigel Marven. He’s been sprayed in the eyes by spitting cobras, he’s free-dived with Great White Sharks and, most impressively of all, he’s tracked down some of the most fearsome creatures from prehistory. We sit down with Nigel to hear all about how he became the British Steve Irwin and his adventures across the planet, and through time…

The second part of our Birdfair bonanza sees us sit down with Axel and Ario Driolo, a pair of brothers who have been on an extraordinary journey following the migration routes of birds that move from Africa to Europe each year. Along the way they have been living out of their 4x4s as they capture the sights and sounds of Germany, Spain, Senegal, Morocco and others to turn into amazing virtual reality experiences to connect local people to the wonders of the birds on their doorstep.

A big thank you to Global Birdfair for having us – you can find more details about them here: www.globalbirdfair.org
