Early Birders with Johnny Vaughan

Sean Bean’s love of birding began when he was a lad growing up on an estate in Sheffield. Long before he was an actor, he was a boy fascinated by books on dinosaurs and Sunday nights watching The World About Us with his Dad.

From discussing the magic of the iconic film Kes to debunking myths about helping fledglings, this episode explores how a childhood connection to nature stays with you for a lifetime.

Sean is joined by a flock of guests who discovered their passion at a young age: TV and Radio Presenter, Johnny Vaughn, (instagram.com/johnny_vaughan66) Wildlife Biologist and Broadcaster, Dan O’Neill, (instagram.com/danowild/?hl=en-gb) Ornithologist and EnvironmentalistDr Mya-Rose Craig (birdgirluk.com), ​​12 year old, artist, naturalist and member of the Youth Council, Benji Fallow (instagram.com/benjaminfallow)and our resident beatboxer and nature sound artist Jason Singh (jasonsinghthing.com/about),
