Ian McMillan is joined on stage by nature writer Mark Cocker, author of Crow Country and editor of Birds Britannica, as well as poet Katrina Porteous, whose work is firmly rooted in the natural history of her home county of Northumberland. They discuss the rich vein of literature which has been inspired by birds and select some of their favourite passages of avian writing.
