Educational, informative and helpful!

Kirsty Costa does a wonderful job sharing her knowledge about birds. Her guests are from all walks of life and they discuss birding and other interesting topics. She recognizes and acknowledges The indigenous people of Australia in every episode, something I wish we did in the states. Her shows are entertaining and educational. She also provides information on birding locations around Australia. Thank you Kirsty!!
