A thunderstorm, dodgy wifi and noisy neighbours make this weeks podcast special! Topical news includes discussion on a new species of Lemur discovery in Madagascar; a birding Facebook group gets all haughty and bans owl photos, and we wrestle with an article discussing the effects of war on wildlife.
Mark gets off his couch to review an avian book full of pretty photos
Then we wade into zoonoses as our main topic of the week with a discussion on avian chlamydia and salmonella in reptiles and their effects on humans.
The book review by Mark is Owls,Frogmouths and Nightjars of Australia which he rates 8 out of 10.
