Birdwatching champion launches podcast

ENVIRONMENTAL activist Mya-Rose Craig will launch a beginner’s birdwatching podcast on 29 January.

Craig, 18, founded her charity, Black2Nature, in 2016 to encourage children and teenagers from visibly ethnic minorities to connect with the environment.

Last year she was awarded an honorary science docorate by the University of Bristol, becoming the youngest person in the UK to receive an honorary degree.

Craig, who writes the Bird Girl blog, is recording her podcast in partnership with binocular maker Swarovski and Severn Trent Water.

She has also teamed up with the optics brand as a “partner opinion leader”.
