A GUIDE TO COASTAL BIRDS - 5. OFFSHORE ISLANDS (320kbs-m4a/32mb/14mins)
BBC Radio 4 Extra broadcast: 3rd January 2025
Brett Westwood is joined by keen bird watcher, Stephen Moss, on the Devonshire coast.
With the help of wildlife sound recordist Chris Watson they offer a practical and entertaining guide to identifying the birds which you're most likely to see and hear on Britain's off-shore islands; birds like Common Eider Duck, Puffin, Manx Shearwater and Arctic Tern.
The last of five programmes helps identify more of the birds found around our British coastline in places like sandy beaches, rocky shores, sea cliffs, off-shore islands and estuaries.
Not only is there advice on how to recognise the birds from their appearance, but also how to identify them from their calls and songs.
Producer: Sarah Blunt
First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in September 2010.
