The Wildlife Explorer

Show Notes

Welcome to a Halloween special edition episode of The Wildlife Explorer podcast full of myths, legends and ghosts. Lock your doors, shut the curtains and settle down for some spooky Essex tales.

This month, we're on the hunt for ghosts (of the owl variety!) and trying to solve some ancient Essex wildlife mysteries. From a scourge of mice with venomous teeth, to the slaying of a dragon. We'll be helping you to ID some of the UK's spookiest bird calls too - they can give you quite a fright!
