Meet Dr. Catherine Young, who describes herself as a "actual living scientist", a birder, traveller, bird guide & general nature enthusiast.
We discuss the Forty-spotted Pardalote, one of the subjects of the Difficult Birds Research Group, which is based at Australian National University, and Cat's work with the group, while being based in Tasmania.
We talk about all of Cat's previous bird and animal adventures around the world, including working with mongooses!
Of course, we get to know where she fits as a bird nerd, and she answers the usual Bird Emergency questions!
