About the show

Life Through Feathers is a relaxed family podcast about British garden birds, birdwatching, and nature stories, recorded across three generations. Each month, host Will explores birds in the news, birds visiting a South Yorkshire garden, and wherever else birds decide to appear, often in unexpected places. Not an expert, just an enthusiastic (and sometimes confused) birdwatcher, Will is often joined by family and friends, all sharing a simple curiosity about the birds around us.
