Podcasts about Lapwing

Bird Registration - from Tuesday, October 1st it will become a legal requirement for all bird keepers in Wales (and England) to register themselves with the Animal and Plant Health Agency. Lapwing - some of Wales' leading ornithologists have been focusing on the plight of our bird populations for Country Focus and this month it's the lapwing brought to us by Dave Anning who is the site manager for a wet and windy RSPB Ynys-hir reserve on the Dyfi estuary Celtic wildlfower - we meet the Swansea ecologist who's on a mission to save our wildflowers Pasta a Mano - we hear how the pop-up pastaria from Ceredigion, that won the British Street Food Awards recently, now goes on to compete in next weekends' European finals in Germany. Chef Derw Robertson-Jacobs to hear about the secret to his success of using local Welsh ingredients combined with Italian cuisine.

Lapwings are any of various ground-nesting birds akin to plovers and dotterels. They range from 10 to 16 inches in length, and are noted for their slow, irregular wingbeats in flight and a shrill, wailing cry.

In April, the  northern lapwings (Vanellus vanellus) return. Their joyful flight and funny sounds can be heard in the spring fieldscape.

Today, we have the amazing opportunity to chat with Javed Khan, who plays Rohan, the mysterious climatologist and close friend of Bill in A Murder at the End of the World. We chatted with Javed about a wide range of subjects from his unusual path to acting in this unique murder mystery to signs from the universe and more - and of course all about his role as perhaps the only entirely tech free character on this technology filled show. This episode will include spoilers for new viewers as we discuss the show to date, which is through the finale of Season 1. And since you enjoy Javed's work so much, be sure to check out his other work - Lapwing, 7 Welcome to London, and many more - check out his IMDB if the characters on this collage intrigue you as much as they did us.

We visit the beautiful island of Islay, finding out about the unique habitats, species and important natural capital assets the island supports. The RSPB Islay reserves have internationally important populations of wintering Barnacle and Greenland White-fronted geese, and are also important for breeding Chough, Corncrake, Lapwing and a range of other wildlife. All these species depend on farming practices and the correct land management to thrive. This creates conflicts and opportunities for land managers and agriculture on the island. To discuss this and lots more, we are joined by farmer Craig Archibald, RSPB Senior Farms Manager Eion Brown and Jack Fleming, Area Manager, RSPB for Argyll, Arran and Ardnamurchan.

Nature educator Johanne Ryan shares her observations of Southern Lapwings, shorebirds that make their nests on the ground in open areas and vigorously defend them. If a potential predator approaches, the parent will sound a piercing alarm call. If that doesn't work, the lapwing will charge the opponent, using a secret weapon – sharp, bony spurs on the bird's “wrists.”More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote?

It's a landmark week for farming in Wales. Members of the Senedd, the Welsh parliament, have voted through the first ever ‘made in Wales' Agriculture Bill. It's the first of the devolved nations to vote through its own home-grown agriculture bill since the UK withdrew from the European Union and the CAP, or Common Agricultural Policy. The bill sets out the framework for future food and farming policy in Wales, including how farmers will be supported for the work they do as the old EU system of subsidies, based on the amount of land farmed, is phased out. All this week on Farming Today we're talking bacon, specifically the bacon butty and how the bacon in our butties gets from the pig to plate. We visit a meat processing plant in the South West to see how pigs are slaughtered The Silver Lapwing Award is one of the most prestigious and long standing accolades for farmers who are committed to making space for nature while running a working farm business. We meet last year's winner and the Welsh beef farmer who's been given the award this year. Presenter - Caz Graham Producer - Rebecca Rooney

Dr Brian Briggs is a man of two halves; by day he is the Nature Reserve Manager at the Wildfowl and Wetland Trust's Llanelli reserve, but by night he is the lead singer and songwriter for the Glastonbury-playing, Later-with-Jools-Holland-appearing, Silver-record-selling, “Rural existentialist orni-folk-band”, Stornoway. Reforming after a 10 year hiatus for a new tour and a new album, on a walk around the Llanelli reserve, Brian details how being immersed in nature during the pandemic is what has brought the band (like the Lapwing) back from the brink.In this interview of two halves, Brian discusses the dynamism of Wetlands; the return of Grebes, Lapwings and Water Voles; the battles of invasive Mink vs. Kingfisher, and of industrious winter-causeway-crossing hungry Hedgehog vs. beautiful rare lapwing egg. But also, Brian opens up about an awakening, through birdsong, to an appreciation of our Sonic world; about a creative excitement of using Nature both as metaphor and instrument; and, why Stornoway's music ultimately works best outdoors. He also explains, that somehow, despite being a writer of a song about Ash dieback, he isn't even the biggest geek in the band…!

In today's Shop Talk, Lisa presents basic Biomedical and TCM information about BPH (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia), a condition that every Acupuncturist will most likely see in their clinic at some point in their career unless you don't treat older gentlemen. She presents common causes, symptoms, biomed treatments, TCM differentials and a few basic points. You can use these points in your clinic tomorrow to start successfully treating this condition! It's a condition that responds very well to what we have to offer, acupuncture and herbs! For a more in-depth understanding on BPH and other common men's health conditions you can take one of Lisa's courses. Information on my upcoming courses will be announced on herb blog at: https://whole-healthacupuncture.com/blog. She also offers consultations services and is always open to just talk to other practitioners about this subject, of which she is so passionate about! You can contact Lisa directly at: Lisa.whacupuncture@gmail.com.About Lisa LapwingDr. Lisa Lapwing a specialist in men's health (Andrology). As you may be aware, we're not taught much about this subject in school and I therefore, had to learn about it myself through reading/researching, talking to other professionals and trial and error. Now, over a decade later, after treating various sexual health conditions for men and women, I'm filling in the gaps in education on Andrology in TCM. As an expert in this field I have spoken for and have had an article published with SUNA (Society of Urologic Nurses and Associates), I've taught classes for AOMA and FSOMA.

hinese medicine is a godsend for women's health. There are plenty of resources for us to tap into, and our medicine is great at addressing the challenges women face through their reproductive years and beyond. But what about the other half of the population? Well, not so much. Men's health is often shrouded in invisible inequality. Some of it is cultural, men seek medical attention less frequently than women. Generally speaking, men aren't as proactive in seeking to resolve health concerns, we pride ourselves on toughing through problems. I would have thought that there would be more in our East Asian medicine toolkit for treating men's reproductive or sexual issues, But if you look, you will not that much. It's a bare storehouse compared to the treasure house of medicine and methods we have for women's health. In this conversation with Lisa Lapwing, we explore men's health and see what Chinese medicine has to offer. We look at the taboos behind men's health, the emotional underpinnings of the issues, and how to hold comfortable conversations with patients for better outcomes. We also discuss the diagnosis and treatment of common problems, including prostatitis, BPH, and prostate cancer. Listen into this discussion on common sexual/reproductive issues that trouble men and the need to address the gender gap in health outcomes.

It has taken your favorite commie book jerks nearly 100 episodes to answer the much-debated question – what is the horniest novel of the British 19th century? Comrades, it's Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights (1847). We absolutely love this brilliant novel about the torrid love affair between Catherine Earnshaw and the mysterious, often sinister, Gothic villain/anti-hero Heathcliff. (Did we mention he's her adoptive brother? He's her adoptive brother. It wouldn't be a Gothic novel if it wasn't HAVING THOUGHTS about endogamy and incest.) We talk gender, sexuality, patriarchy, repression that's kind of not, and racialization, as well as the pressure this novel puts on Victorian “realism.” This is one damp novel, folks. Who knew the Yorkshire moors were so turnt? We read the Oxford edition with notes and introduction by John Bugg. For a wonderful and concise reading of Wuthering Heights that explores Brontë's novel as a critique of normative Victorian epistemology, we highly recommend Nathan K. Hensley's blog post “The Lapwing's Feather (Wuthering Heights)”: http://www.nathankhensley.net/blog/the-lapwings-feather-wuthering-heights. There is a ton of great scholarship on Heathcliff as a figure of otherness, but one book we recommend is Terry Eagleton's Heathcliff and the Great Hunger which discusses many texts but builds part of its analysis by thinking of Wuthering Heights in the context of the Great Famine, ongoing as Wuthering Heights was published.

The recently released film Lapwing is set during the Tudor period, one year after the Egyptian Act of 1554 effectively criminalised Romani people and others - generically labelled "Egyptians" - and those who harboured them. Lapwing tells the story of one such family who are exploited by a vengeful salt farmer on the Lincolnshire coast.In this edition of Not Just the Tudors, Professor Suzannah Lipscomb finds out more about the little-remembered Egyptian Act from Dr. John E. Moran, and more about Lapwing from its writer Laura Turner.Keep up to date with everything early modern, from Henry VIII to the Sistine Chapel with our Tudor Tuesday newsletter >If you would like to learn more about history, we have hundreds of history documentaries, ad-free podcasts and audiobooks at History Hit >To download, go to Android > or Apple store > See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Love science and conservation? Want to discover new ways to protect our species? Elle Kaye chats with guests who work within the science genre, but whose job titles may need a little unpacking. Strap in for entomology, taxidermy, diaphonization, pet remains, human pathology and all those that work with specimens. In episode 021 Elle chats with Lucy about growing up in rural England and how this environment had an effect on her interests and career. She discusses the medical diagnosis which took her away from work and into the world of science communication, and how that has developed since her health has improved. Lucy also shares her advice for those wanting to feel a deeper connection to nature at home and how she combats eco-anxieties.

The conversation covers their ecology, migratory movements and lots more, almost in a bid to delay the inevitable conversation about the decline of the Eurasian Curlew and many of its closely related cousins. A frank interview with BirdWatch Irelands Anita Donaghy (Assistant Head of Conservation) leaves us in no doubt as to the rapid changes we need to make within the areas of farming , forestry and planning as few defend the last remaining Curlew from the annual barrage of nest predators.  Bird of the week is an enemy of our ground nesting species, the Hooded Crow.  This podcast is made in partnership with Heritage Offices of Laois and Offaly County Councils with the support of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, the National Biodiversity Action Plan, and the Heritage Council.This podcast is edited by Ann-Marie Kelly

During lockdown, we've become more aware of birdsong but can we recognise the birds we're hearing? In this episode, Mya-Rose Craig explores how to identify different birds, from robins to wrens to blackbirds; why birds sing; what a dawn chorus is all about; and how birdsong makes us feel.Actor and keen birder Samuel West takes time out from filming the new series of All Creatures Great and Small to give top tips on how to learn birdsong, with his very own patch diary from Yorkshire.

Birding, ergh, birding. There's more birders on the planets than there are birds, you know that right? WHAT IS ALL THE FUSS ABOUT?! I've never understood the world of birds & after one joke tweet about our feathered friends last year, thousands of angry birders & many wind ups later, I decided to dip my toes in the pool of......birds. I couldn't do it alone though. I needed help. So in this mini series titled, Getting Ryan Into Birding, I'll be talking with Jack Baddams, Indy Greene & Lucy Lapwing, as they take me under their wing (yes that's a pun) to teach me not only how, but why, I should get into birding.

Calling all Galanthophiles, this week Alan Gray (a self-confessed Snowdrop addict) and Thordis (doing her best to resist!) are joined by two gardeners who long ago succumbed to Galanthamania. Award-winning Garden Writer, Val Bourne, shares her experiences of growing Snowdrops in the Cotswolds, while Brian Ellis, who sells many special varieties of Galanthus talks from the Norfolk perspective. The conversation winds from the extraordinary people who make the Snowdrop community so special, to the varieties Val and Brian hold most dear. And while the gang didn't get to mention all the things they wanted to, there's certainly no shortage of specatular Snowdrops to set your heart racing.

Hello Everyone, Seasonal Greeting from all the Team at Tralee Bay Wetlands Eco & Activity Park this Christmas. We hope that everyone is doing very well over the Festive Season we would also like to remind everyone that staying at home doesn't mean that you have to stay inside, go for walk, run, cycle and for anyone brave enough you can go for that Christmas Swim. We ask anyone that is visiting the Coast this year we urge you to "Take 3 for the Sea" initiative to pick up 3 pieces of rubbish and put them in the bin, to ensure we keep our coastline clean. Ireland is not void of animals during Winter we have good amount of birds coming over from mainland Europe, Canada and Iceland. If you go as far as Tralee Bay you will actually see loads of these birds as Ireland does not freeze during Winter. The birds we get are Whooper Swans, Canadian Brent Geese, Oyster Catchers, Lapwing and Curlew. At the Tralee Bay Wetlands Eco & Activity Park you can see the Curlew flying over in the morning time. To attract birds to your home or garden, the best way is by planting trees and bushes like Holly. Holly has tradition in Ireland, it is one of the noble trees of the Wood. A quick way to get birds into your home or garden, is by bird feeders filled with a mixture of nuts and seeds to attract different variety of species. We hope that you enjoy this very interesting Podcast and the other Nature Podcasts we released throughout the year with Alan, Education and Wildlife Officer here at Tralee Bay Wetlands Eco & Activity Park. We would like to send you all the best wishes and happiness for 2021. Nollaig Shona agus Athbhliain faoi Mhaise Duit. We would like to sincerely wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year too from management, the Team at Tralee Bay Wetlands and the Lakeside Café! We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support and business during 2020. We are looking forward to welcoming you once again to the Tralee Bay Wetlands Eco & Activity Park in 2021! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Be sure to stay up to date with all our social media channels below.

Heute geht es um den Kiebitz, dessen Ruf bei Philipp Kindheitserinnerungen hervorruft. Bei Antonia weniger, denn als Städterin und Kölnerin ist ihr dieser Watvogel nicht so vertraut. Doch das ändert sich in dieser Folge - denn der Kiebitz ist eng mit dem Menschen verbunden, es gibt Gedichte über ihn und Songs. Das ist bewegend, denn der Mensch ist auch Schuld daran, dass der Kiebitz inzwischen stark gefährdet ist. Er zählt aktuell zu den größten Verlierern der modernen Landwirtschaft, da es immer weniger Wiesen zum Brüten für ihn gibt. In weniger als 30 Jahren sind die Kiebitzbestände um 88% in Deutschland eingebrochen. P.S. Uwe Westphal ist doch kein Tierfilmer.

It's not uncommon to hear someone say, "Oh British wildlife is boring" & to be honest, I've probably been guilty of it myself. However it really couldn't be further from the truth. This week I'm joined by conservationist & science communicator Lucy Lapwing. Lucy is an expert on British wildlife. We chat chat everything from the diversity & variety animals & pants, the vulnerability of some species & the reasons why it's more important than ever to do your bit for this countries nature. We also touch on HS2. A controversial, multi billion pound construction project that, whilst does have some pros, is having a real cost to England's historical forests & delicate ecosystems. If you'd like to keep up to date with the projects, & shows that Lucy is working on, you can do so on Twitter & Instagram @Lucy_Lapwing Don't forget to subscribe to us on iTunes, Podbean & Spotify . You can also get in touch on social media, @intothewildpod. Whether it's just to say hello, share some thoughts on an episode or even to let me know you'd like to hear about next!  Until next time, keep well, stay safe & live the good life.

Nick travels to Wales to meet Charles who runs possibly the finest duck shoot in the country. However, Charles is also the founder of the Cambrian Lapwing Recovery Trust and Nick wants to hear more about that. The trust was set up in 1999 and has managed to make at least some small contribution to the conservation of this beautiful bird.

Salad special with Marijne van der Vlugt in conversation with David Eastaugh  Van der Vlugt had previously worked as a model, and as a video jockey for MTV Europe. The band started performing as The Merry Babes but changed to Salad in 1992, when Pete Brown was recruited on bass. Their first two releases, the Kent EP and "Diminished Clothes", were released on their own Waldorf label, gaining them significant music press coverage and leading to a deal with Island Records, initially on the 'indie' sub-label Island Red. Early singles reached the top 75 of the UK Singles Chart, with "Motorbike to Heaven" just missing out on a top 40 placing. First album, Drink Me (1995), reached No. 16 of the UK Albums Chart. The next three singles were all minor chart hits, but second album Ice Cream (1997) failed to match the success of the first. The band were dropped by Island Records and ultimately disbanded in 1998. Van der Vlugt later formed Cowboy Racer, whose song "Yellow Horse" featured on the US television show, Grey's Anatomy. Pete Brown and Rob Wakeman established the popular entertainment site, BoreMe, which Pete Brown now runs on his own. Charley Stone has gone on to play in a number of bands including The Fallen Women and The Abba Stripes. Rob Wakeman released a few Tech House and Techno singles between 1999 and 2002, including Legs With Wings on City Rockers (2002). Wakeman, together with Jo Addison, formed the band Lapwing in 1999, appearing on various compilation albums from record labels including Mind Horizon Recordings and Dishy. In 2016 Van der Vlugt and Kennedy began performing Salad songs acoustically as "Salad Undressed". They also performed their first radio session in 19 years at Phoenix FM in Brentwood. The duo, now joined by long time collaborator Donald Ross Skinner released an album entitled Good Love Bad Love in March 2018 – their first as Salad Undressed. In 2017 the band announced that they would be playing two dates as a full electric band (with original bassist Pete Brown, guitarist Charley Stone and drummer Donald Ross Skinner joining van der Vlugt and Kennedy) in London before releasing a new album as a full band.[5] Third album The Salad Way was released on 30 August 2019.

RSPB Yorkshire staff are reflecting on birds all this week for Tweet of the Day. Today reserve warden Heather Bennett recalls how the lapwing began her love affair with nature. Tweet of the Day has captivated the Radio 4 audience with its daily 90 seconds of birdsong. But what of the listener to this avian chorus? In this new series of Tweet of the Day, we bring to the airwaves the conversational voices of those who listen to and are inspired by birds. Building on the previous series, a more informal approach to learning alongside a renewed emphasis on encounter with nature and reflection in our relationship with the natural world.

Birdsong is a ubiquitous feature of the British countryside. But what is the cultural significance of this much-loved part of our landscape? Jonathan Woolley reflects upon the meanings made by birds - as omens, as signs, as proxies, and as music - from the Norfolk Broads, to Bosavi in Papua New Guinea.
