We kick off the season with an episode on one of South Africa’s most endangered bird species, the Botha’s Lark. I chat with Dr. Hanneline Smith-Robinson and Dr. David Ehlers Smith from BirdLife South Africa to learn more about the species, the challenges it faces, and the conservation efforts underway. This episode is presented in simple language that both birders and non-birders will understand, so please help spread the word by sharing this episode with your friends.Intro and outro music by Tony ZA https://soundcloud.com/tonyofficialzaLinks from show:BirdLife South Africa Photography Competition - https://www.birdlife.org.za/photography-competition-2024/
