In this episode I chat to well known South African birder, Duncan McKenzie.
Amongst the topics we discuss in the show:
- The Wood Warbler that showed up in Phalaborwa this past week. Duncan also explains what reverse migration is.
- Duncan's early days of birding and how he discovered a 'brand-new' species.
- The delicate balance between conservation and development.
- The African countries that offer the most for birders and a South American country that is fantastic to bird in.
- The importance of the SABAP2 project and atlasing - including how it provides important data around migration and climate change.
- How the SABAP2 data is used.
- And lots more...
