Suzy is joined by her husband John to review their birding experiences from February 2026.
From trying to spot a Snow Goose amongst a flock of Whooper Swans (in a blizzard!) to seeing Spoonbills and Slavonian Grebes on a cold rainy day, their experiences highlight the realities of birding in February in southern England.
Despite the weather, their report of their favourite sightings and the friendly birders they met provides an engaging listen.
So grab a cuppa, and enjoy their birding tales.
