Birding in paradise.

BirdCast

Sometimes we forget how very precious and unique our own backyards are, and that we don't need to travel thousands of miles to be some place that exists nowhere else on the planet. For today's guest the Perth Hills is that very fabulous and special place. And it was this appreciation of knowing the Perth Hills was the special land at the end of the yellow brick road, that led this young woman to write and publish her very own bird watching guide of the special birds endemic to her own patch of paradise.
Talitha may only be a young woman, but she knows the value in the Jarrah and Marri trees that create the Perth hills forests. These forests have evolved in this special part of Australia for millions of years and are found nowhere else on the planet. As such they have created a unique ecosystem in which Talitha has explored and provided an insight into the birds that chose to make this special forest their home.
Join us in this episode to listen to the intriguing story of why a young Australian chose to share her passion for birds with the rest of us humans who share this world.
Talitha mentions several organisations and businesses - these will be listed below.
