In this episode of The Countryside Podcast, Chris and Matthew witness the breath-taking spectacle of waterfowl arrivals at the pond, reminiscent of Heathrow Airport with birds coming from all directions. Chris observes Mallards with their distinctive bottle-green heads, Egyptian geese, and Teal, all descending from high above, circling around before making their approach. The pond, a historical feature dug in the early 1600s, serves as a central hub for these birds, their numbers reaching up to 250 by evening. Chris discusses the challenges these birds face with habitat loss due to land drainage and modern farming practices, while Matthew touches on the sporting aspect of waterfowl. Join Chris and Matthew as they marvel at the birds' skilful landings, even on ice, and learn how they use the wind to their advantage for a soft landing. This episode captures the beauty and complexity of nature's evening routine.
