BirdNote Daily - 27 July 2022: *Are Birds Nests Reused? - Let's talk about nests. Every spring, robins build their cup-shaped nests using grass and mud. Orioles weave a hanging sack. It's hard work, and yet once the chicks fledge, the structures probably won't be reused. But bigger birds, such as herons, hawks, and eagles, often reuse a nest for many years. / Europe's migratory White Storks — like those pictured here — get the award for best reuse. / One nest site, still used in 1930 and likely seeing many repairs, dated back to 1549. / That's a continuous series of stork pairs nesting in one spot for 381 years! / More info and transcript at BirdNote.org

BirdNote Daily - 28 July 2022: *Prions Filter-Feed Like Whales - Birds called prions have an especially creative approach to getting their food. They pass seawater through their mouths and filter it to catch tiny animals such as krill and other small crustaceans. It's similar to how baleen whales feed, leading to the prion's nickname: the whale-bird. The sides of their bills have comb-like structures. Small food items get trapped in the combs as water flows past. In Greek, the word "prion" means saw, which refers to the bird's highly specialized mouth. / More info and transcript at BirdNote.org



The Gerry Anderson Podcast - 2 June 2025: starts with an announcement from Richard and Chris about changes to the show. A main episode every month, with a randomiser episode in between. Wow, that’s very different! New musical introduction. “Now the guest is part of the randomiser.” This time they are joined by actress and podcaster Wendy Wason. During the discussion they watch a clip of Gerry on Blue Peter discussing the Lady Penelope character from Thunderbirds. Clip of Wendy in Sherlock. Clip of Wendy in The IT Crowd. Duvet days. A lot of explaining what Space 1999 is to Wendy. They watch a clip of Wendy doing stand-up comedy. Then there is a clip of Jimmy Carr dealing with a heckler at a comedy show, who likens him to Virgil Tracy. Fab fact linking the Anderson universe to The Vicar Of Dibley. This time they watch the Space 1999 episode The Infernal Machine. In this podcast episode we get an abridged version of their viewing, the full version of which will be available in a couple of weeks on YouTube.
