Why we set up a birdwatching club for people of colour
You might not expect to find many birdwatchers in the parks of east London, but that’s where you’re likely to see Ollie Olanipekun and Nadeem Perera doing just that. They tell Emily Webb about their group called Flock Together - a support club for people of colour, using birdwatching as their platform.
This clip is from a longer interview with Ollie and Nadeem on Outlook, which you can hear by searching for 'Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Outlook - The black birdwatchers shifting the landscape'.
