Show Notes

In this deeply personal and heartwarming episode of the Wild Eye Podcast, Gabby sits down with her 82-year-old grandfather, Terry Ashmore, a lifelong bird lover, wildlife photographer, mineralogist and chemist, with decades of stories to share. From early birding in the UK with second-hand binoculars to walking the first Kruger wilderness trails in the 1970s, Terry reflects on the magic of slowing down, watching nature with care, and living with curiosity.

He shares memories of rare bird sightings, close calls on foot, the joys of handwritten field guides, and his thoughtful, minimalist approach to photography.

With humour, wisdom, and passion, this episode is a rare glimpse into a quieter, more intentional way of experiencing the wild, and a touching reminder of the stories that deserve to be passed down
