Harry Saddler and the eastern curlew

Harry Saddler is the author of "The Eastern Curlew" (2018). This incredible bird flies from the south coast of Australia to Siberia (and back) every year, back and forth - 10,0000 kilometres each way. In this episode, Harry gives Jeremy and Brad an insight into the eastern curlew, its mind-boggling journey, the key pressures threatening its survival, and recommended solutions to protect this amazing bird.
