Comparison with The Dectectorists? That’s high praise indeed from @yolobirder.bsky.social. One of my favourite scenes as well. ☺️ #thecuckooslea #naturewriting
YOLOBirder@yolobirder.bsky.social · last yr.Thoroughly enjoying ‘The Cuckoo’s Lea’ by @drmjwarren.bsky.social, exploring England and its past through the places named after the birds that used to be there. It reminds me of the falconers whistle scene in Detectorists, with its ghostly echoes of the past. Lovely stuff.
Hoping for a good ‘TERN out’ for this ! Schools out so bring the kids along to my fun animated bird guide workshop at Rye Harbour Nature Reserve on Saturday 26th July! We may even sing the Tern Song together! @sussexwildlife.bsky.social Tickets here www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/fun-family...
A year ago I made this podcast about Sky Hunter, an old BBC educational kids film (shown as part of Look and Read) about peregrines and wildlife crime. It was a nostalgic passion project but came to mean so much more. goldengrenades.com/podcast/epis...
Episode 37: Sky Hunter Special
Exploring the creation of the 1978 educational BBC drama Sky Hunter (from the BBC programme Look and Read), bird crimes then and now, and the influence it had.
