Winter migrants are on their way

One of the season's great spectacles is about to begin as birds from as far north as the arctic circle head for the UK to overwinter. Pink-footed geese and whooper swans are just two of the species which will be arriving shortly at Loch Leven in central Scotland – both are on the amber list of conservation concern. On this episode of Nature's Voice Jane Markham meets Vicky Turnbull from the RSPB's Tayside reserves and Graham Jones site manager for the Dee Estuary to look forward to their arrival and get an understanding of the perilous journeys they have to make to get here.
