Some Ornithological Chat with Ryan Irvine
Mark talks to Ryan Irvine about patch birding, and getting involved with Patchwork Challenge – a friendly competition that aims to inspire birders to bird (and record) more locally. Ryan decides he’d like to be reincarnated as a Sooty Shearwater, and fly past Girdle Ness while someone other than Mark finds Scotland’s first Eastern Crowned Warbler there. Charming!
