Episode 255 – British Birds

“a fierce old bird of prey” [SPEC] 



Birds are part of British life. Such is the reality of living on an island. And there were a great variety of birds we hear about in the Sherlock Holmes stories.

While many of them were commonplace and part of the hunting and dining habits in Victorian England, there were others that were a little more exotic. It's just a Trifle.

We also have an announcement about a special episode only for our Patreon supporters. Be sure you're on board to take part in that.
