Show notes

The Dunlin is a small wading bird which formerly bred in good numbers along Ireland’s west and northern coasts, but has declined by more than 90% in recent years. Efforts are underway to stem this sharp decline and we speak to Jess Hodnett, a Ranger at Fota Wildlife Park and a member of the Dunlin headstarting team.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
