Birding is a great pastime. It can be done with others or alone. You don't need expensive equipment, your eyes or ears are enough. And best of all, the Casual Birder can do as much or as little birding as suits them. It's perfect for fitting into our busy schedules. Join me for recorded bird walks, interviews and information about the wild birds I see on my travels in the UK and internationally. Listen and subscribe to the show on your favourite podcast app.

Learning birdsong takes active listening and repeated exposure. Birding guide Rob Porter takes you into the field to experience birding by ear in this relaxed pace acoustic exploration of natural spaces in mid-western Ontario. Whether you're an aspiring or veteran birder looking to test and build upon your birdsong identification skills or someone who appreciates the natural world, this unique series will bring you as close as you can get to birding in the field without going anywhere. Season 1, "The Bruce Peninsula" was recorded in July of 2019, in the peak of songbird breeding season. This podcast updates weekly on Mondays from October 2019 through February 2019 (hiatus for holidays). Bonus episodes by chance, generally every couple weeks. Future seasons TBA!
