In this episode we chat to Simon Foster, NatureScot’s Trends and Indicators Analysis Officer, about our latest research which reveals an increase in the number of birds in Scotland’s towns and cities.

He explains the likely reasons for the increase, how climate change is affecting our birds, and what everyone can do to help.
