Suzy is joined by Dr Ed Pullen, a former family doctor turned keen birder and podcast host.
During a trip to the Everglades with his late wife Kay, Ed found himself fascinated by the birds they saw. That trip led to a lifelong love of birding.
Ed shares his evolving approach to birding, which now emphasizes experiences over bird listing, and how his genuine interest in connecting with fellow birders led to the creation of his podcast.

In this month's birding catch-up, Suzy chats with her husband John about the birds they saw in February. After a slower start to the year thanks to a holiday abroad, they were keen to get back out birding and boost their 2025 bird list.

The conversation delves into the sites they visited, their top birding moments, and their respective bird counts for the month, which adds a lighthearted competitive aspect to their birdwatching activities.

Their shared passion for birdwatching and dedication to documenting their bird sightings is evident throughout the conversation, as they share the joy of spotting different species in diverse locations.

This episode is also available to watch on YouTube, with added photos and videos of the birds seen.
