Hello! And welcome to Wilder Skies the podcast… The place where we talk Birds, Wildlife and all the hard hitting Conservation topics on the top of everyone’s minds…

Okay guys here’s a freshly edited episode of ‘Wilder Skies the Podcast’ for your ears!...

This one was recorded a while back, with the epic Ajay Tegala…. Where we discuss his life as a wetland ranger (and his publications to go with!), his endless passion for fenland natural history, disturbance in nature, race and conservation, amongst many other topics…

I must apoloigse first and foremost as was rather ill during this recording, and my asthma quite lared up, so my side of the chat sounds horrendous and very laboured. But hopefully listening to this chat you can get a grasp of how incredible Ajay and his work is, and pick up his infectious passion for what he does. What an amazing human being…

Hope you enjoy it, Ajay’s side anyways! Cheers guys…
