    Stalkers Tales - Episode 6 - Bill Cowie - Rona & Skye

    A fascinating discussion with Bill Cowie about his stalking life and the important work undertaken over 24 years introducing and managing Red deer on the island of Rona off the east coast of Skye. This is a long recording that was going to be spread over two episodes, but on listening back, i thought better for the listener to manage the time rather than disrupt Bill's flow through a clumsy edit. We actually had a lot more to discuss, which we will pick up in a future episode. I hope you enjoy it.
