Nick Acheson Thursday 30 March 7pm BST

Cycling in search of geese

Nick lives in a flint cottage by a duckpond beside the River Wensum in North Norfolk. He grew up nearby, beside the River Stiffkey. In the process of moving three miles between North Norfolk rivers, he spent ten years in South America (largely by the Rivers Piraí, Iténez and Mamoré in Bolivia), four in India (along the Brahmaputra, among many others) and worked with wildlife on every continent.

Having reflected deeply on climate, biodiversity and ecotourism, he has given up flying. He now cycles around North Norfolk and walks along the Wensum; and writes, speaks and teaches about wildlife and conservation, often on behalf of Norfolk Wildlife Trust and Felbeck Trust.

    Flights of fancy

    Lev is a writer, birdwatcher and conductor. He is the author of INTO THE TANGLED BANK, longlisted for the Wainwright Prize, LIGHT RAINS SOMETIMES FALL and WHY DO BIRDS SUDDENLY DISAPPEAR? He was born and grew up in Oxfordshire and now lives in South London with his family, who are getting used to his increasing enthusiasm for nature. As a birdwatcher, his most prized sightings are a Golden Oriole in the Alpujarras in Southern Spain and a Black Redstart at Dungeness Power Station in Kent, England. Lev was the instigator of the popular “Twitter Birdsong Project” – a day-by-day guide designed to help beginners unravel the mysteries of birdsong.

    As a conductor, Lev is devoted to the rich world of amateur music-making and works with several London-based orchestras. He has produced two CDs with the BBC Concert Orchestra and the City of Oxford Orchestra. A particular highlight was conducting the theme tune for The Missing Hancocks for BBC Radio 4 with the BBC Concert Orchestra.

    He studied music at the Royal Academy of Music and was a percussionist before he became a conductor.

    Animals and us – the 40,000 year story

    Keggie is the author of DADLAND which won the 2016 Costa Biography Award and was a Sunday Times bestseller.

    Her latest book, BEASTLY, throws readers headlong into the mind-blowing glittering pageant of life, and goes in search of our most revealing encounters with the animal world to show where we’ve come from and where we’re going. What does it mean when a young woman befriends a boar, a gorilla tells a joke, or a fish thinks? Beastly is the 40,000-year story of our changing kinship, reframing our understanding of what it is like to be an animal and what our role is as humans. There has never been a greater urgency to understand this foundational relationship, it has shaped our lives, our land, our civilisation, and our planet, but if reimagined, could save it.

    Keggie lives in Wiltshire with her husband, Jonathan, where they have rewilded 24 acres at Underhill Wood Nature Reserve for fauna, flora and the education of young people.
