Did you know that you can listen to many of your favourite podcasts first on BBC Sounds?

Like Desert Island Discs, where you can hear castaways like Cher, Gareth Southgate and Nick Cave,

and enjoy longer versions of the music they've picked.

Good things come to those who don't wait.

Listen to your favourite podcasts first on BBC Sounds.

The Scotland Outdoors podcast from BBC Radio Scotland.

Hello and thanks very much for choosing to listen to this.

I'm Mark Stephen.

We build the Scotland Outdoors

podcast from the live program we do for BBC Radio Scotland, which is called Out of Doors.

And this week there's a whole range of stuff. We spoke about seagrass, we spoke about archaeology,

and of course, as ever, there was the mystery bird.

Good morning. I'm Mark Stephen here at Beachgrove in Aberdeen.

Red-eyed and bushy-tailed 40 miles to the north. Mr. Ewan McElroyfe.

Yeah, we make our own entertainment in the country, and I'm watching two swallows mating. How exciting is that?

Stop that. If you can do better than that, 08,082, 92, 92, 95, 000, and Quintamble, and Quivering with a thing.

What do you mean if you can do better than that?

I spent a bit of time in Royal D-Side this week on the trail of Lacking Grouse, and I also visited Braymar in anticipation of the first Braymar gathering

taking place in September.

Well, I don't know how many years it's been

since the last one, you'll hear that shortly.

Mystery bird.
