Wild on the wireless ( Radio )

Monday night , a bank holiday in the U.K. ( public holiday ) and yours truly made my debut on BBC radio. A mixture of nerves and adrenaline for a 35 minute slot talking about Wildlife , Photography and Wildonline. Definitely not easy , especially as the whole interview was totally unscripted.

Best answer of the night , name my favourite animal, my answer ………My wife . Hopefully a few brownie points for that one . ( Anne gave me a lift home so must have been an ok answer ) Must say a big thank you to Tim Weeks my host for the night . Top man , made me feel at home and definitely helped to calm the nerves.
