After a frightening incident of sexual assault while birding, BBC Springwatch naturalist Lucy Lapwing visits four women to try to rekindle her passion for being alone in nature. Birdwatching has always been joyous for Lucy. Her pockets are always stuffed with nature's treasures, such as acorns, feathers, and owl pellets. However, there's now one extra item she always keeps reassuringly within reach. While she was birdwatching alone, a man exposed himself to her and videoed her reaction, so now Lucy always carries an anti-assault Defence Spray. The incident has left her wary and anxious. She puts her back to a tree when looking through binoculars. She no longer talks to male fellow birders, actively avoiding them from a distance. She is "so angry" that she feels unsafe in nature - a place she had hitherto regarded as unquestionably "her realm". In Clipped Wings, Lucy ventures outdoors with four women whose hobbies and pursuits regularly take them alone into nature: mountain biking, backpacking, running and birding. Lucy talks to former professional mountain biker and Scotland's Active Nation Commissioner Lee Craigie, Ali Ogden, who runs backpacking events across the Scottish Highlands, long-distance runner Catriona Bruce, and ecologist and birdwatcher Sorrel Lyall. What abuse or dangers have they encountered in pursuit of their passion? How do they mitigate risks? How would they like men to behave when encountering a lone woman in nature? And what advice, support, or solidarity can these four supportive peers offer, to help Lucy assuage her fears and get her love of birdwatching back on track?

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.

We spoke about the issues our British birds face we also widened the conversation out about our own enviroment and what we really are doing to our local habitats. It's a passionate conversation that, I feel, is very much needed not just for our small family of listeners but the wider communtiy. Do reach out if you have anything regarding to this chat on twitter: @limehousepod and you can find the show on Instagram :The Limehouse podcast Look after yourself!

I catch up with Lucy Hodson, better known in social media land as Lucy Lapwing, who has an amazing talent as a nature communicator.

We also discuss her top tips for learning to recognise birds by their songs and calls, and what we can do about the eco-anxiety we are all feeling in recent times.
