Simon King's Somerset Podcast

In this podcast, Simon takes a walk across the fields and through woodland close to his home and encounters a Tawny owl which seems to have made surrounding birds nearby rather nervous!

Thank you to Simon King for allowing us to feature this podcast. Check out his Wildlife Whisperer website for lots more about watching your local wildlife.
