This week’s episode offers a fascinating insight into the world of legendary birder Kenneth Newman, the author of many beloved field guides in Southern Africa. I chat with his son, Nick Newman, who not only shares details about the all-new ‘Newman’s Birds by Colour’ but also takes us through his own birding journey. Together, we explore the story of Kenneth Newman, both as an exceptional birder and the man away from the public eye. This episode is a treasure trove of information for any birder looking to deepen their birding experience.
