Ep20 - Birdy facts are stranger than fiction
Wingin' It with Holly
10/23/22 • 25 min
My friend Sean joins me on the podcast this week where we swap some fascinating (and very random) birdy facts – including: which species lay eggs the size of coffee beans, what type of bird uses poop as a weapon, and which birds hold the record for being the largest, smallest or fastest in the world!

Ep18 - Where have all the birds gone?
Wingin' It with Holly
09/25/22 • 32 min
You may have noticed that, here in the UK, a lot of our birds seem to disappear after the summer. But where do they go and why? In spring this year I spoke to my uncle Ivan – who has been birdwatching for 50+ years – about bird migration.

Ep11 - Helping birds in sticky situations
Wingin' It with Holly
06/19/22 • 17 min
Whether it's birds flying into windows, birds getting stuck in chimneys, or even birds that have been injured by a predator – sometimes they need a little helping hand. So in this episode I ask my cousin Katie, a Wildlife Advisor to the public, how we can help our feathered friends in these sorts of situations. This episode was recorded in Queens Park, Brighton.

Ep1 - A little introduction
Wingin' It with Holly
03/12/22 • 4 min
As this is the first episode, I thought it would be a good opportunity to introduce myself and why I’m doing this podcast series.
Ep17 - Should I place the egg in my bra?
Wingin' It with Holly
09/11/22 • 30 min
As a Wildlife Advisor to the public, my cousin Katie deals with all kinds of birdie queries – whether it’s someone needing help identifying a bird in their garden, someone asking advice on how to help an injured bird, or someone asking what to do with a nest they have found in their shed. Some queries, however, are so funny and bizarre that we wanted to share them with you...
Ep15 - The plight of the Red Kite
Wingin' It with Holly
08/14/22 • 24 min
Red Kites are one of our most striking and widespread birds of prey – but did you know they almost went extinct in the UK a few decades ago and we wouldn’t be seeing them now if it wasn’t for a re-introduction programme that took place in the 80s. So in this episode I chat to my aunt Karen who was involved in this work to bring them back from the brink.
P.S apologies for the rumbly microphone sounds throughout.

Wingin' It with Holly
07/31/22 • 30 min
Swifts are built for the skies! With the longest uninterrupted flight on record, swifts can stay in the air for 10 months straight(!), and will sleep, eat, bathe and even mate whilst flying! So in this episode, I visit a swift hotspot in Brighton with my friend Jack who can talk for hours about his favourite bird.

Wingin' It with Holly
07/17/22 • 25 min
The nocturnal Nightjar is one of our most fascinating birds – known for its strange wide mouth, distinctive ‘churring’ call, and a mythical ability to steal milk from goats! So in this episode, my friend Jack and I go to Ashdown Forest at night time in the hope of seeing and hearing this mysterious bird.

Ep12 - What's that dot in the sky?
Wingin' It with Holly
07/03/22 • 27 min
How can you identify a bird of prey species when it is so high up in the sky it simply looks like a moving blob?! Well there are clues to look out for that my aunt Karen – a lifelong birder who certainly knows her stuff – teaches me in this episode.
P.S unfortunately there are a few sound issues with this episode (which I explain in the intro) so my apologies for that!
