Introducing Wild Tales, the new podcast for nature lovers. From untangling the strange mating habits of spiders and digging up the greatest fossil finds, to meeting mysterious ocean giants and finding out why there's no such thing as a seagull, you'll experience our natural world in a whole new way.

Join nature experts Rosie Holdsworth, Ajay Tegala and Heather Birkett on adventures around the UK's diverse habitats as they uncover tales that connect us with wildlife and the environment.
