80: Will Wilson Captures the Birds of Rwanda

The Thing with Feathers: birds and hope with Courtney Ellis

Author of Falling for the Birds of Rwanda and the soon to be released Following the Birds of Rwanda, Will Wilson didn’t start out as a birder. From age 18 until his early 40s, he served in the British military.

How did he make the change from military life to a contemplative birding practice in the cities and wilds of Rwanda? Therein lies the tale.

Will Wilson is a generous photographer based in Kigali, sharing his photos far and wide on social media. Looking through his eyes on Twitter and Instagram has been a great gift.

If you’ve never been to Rwanda—or even if you have!—join us for this very special international episode as Will helps us explore weavers and bee-eaters and beautiful birds of all kinds.
