257. A quest for beauty - and yellowhammer song - on a midsummer mountain
Manage episode 431379378 series 2884355
This week the Plodcast heads into the uplands of the Bannau Brycheinog to explore the summer wildlife that abounds there. Plodcast host Fergus is hoping to find and record the songs of yellowhammers, which dwell on the lower slopes. Or so it's said.
These once-common bright yellow birds have suffered a steep decline in recent decades. Do they still live here? Join the quest – and enjoy numerous other encounters along the way.
The Plodcast is the Publishers Podcast Awards Special Interest Podcast of the Year 2024 and the PPA Podcast of the Year 2022.
