  • All Things Waders
    2026/05/04

    In this episode, Tim and Ryan head to meet Rupert Brewer, Game and Wildlife Ranger at Bisterne Estate, for a deep dive into wader conservation in lowland England.

    Rupert shares the story of a ten-year lapwing and redshank recovery project that has transformed breeding success across the estate. We explore how habitat management, targeted predator control and long‑term monitoring have driven measurable results, including increased fledging rates, growing redshank numbers and wider benefits for wetland birds, water vole and river habitats.

    The conversation covers:

    • Why lapwing and redshank have declined and what works to reverse this trend
    • The importance of winter grazing, water levels and invertebrate‑rich scrapes
    • Predation management decisions on complex, publicly visible landscapes
    • Using ringing, tracking and generational data to prove conservation outcomes

    As always, the episode blends practical detail with wider reflection on the realities of modern land management and finishes in true Oakbank style with local cheese, quick‑fire questions and Rupert’s thoughts on what, if anything, still holds UK conservation back.

    A must-listen for farmers, land managers, gamekeepers and conservation practitioners working towards productive, wildlife-rich landscapes.

  • Predator Control
    2026/03/02

    For this episode, we sit down with Alex Keeble, Game and Wildlife Advisor at the GWCT, to discuss the role of predator control in a wide range of conservation projects, from wild game to reintroduction of waders.

    Alex shares his journey in conservation, explains the science behind effective predator management and highlights practical methods for controlling predators. We explore the three-legged stool approach - habitat, feed and predation management - for boosting biodiversity, and discuss challenges like legal changes to trapping and the importance of sustainable habitat creation. In addition, we touch on the importance of baselining before making habitat changes, shift to non-toxic shot, promoting game meat consumption and actionable tips for landowners and conservationists.

    As is the tradition, we also sample a selection of cheeses and discuss our favourites.
