Nesting birds endangered
Two out of five of all nesting birds in Switzerland – that's 40% - are endangered. The Swiss government and conservationists have introduced measures to help the species most at risk, and farmers are being offered cash incentives to make their fields more bird friendly. But will this be enough to save some species from extinction? (Video & photos courtesy of ASPO/Birdlife Switzerland, SORBUS and swissinfo.ch)

I have a wealth of experience as a journalist working in Switzerland and enjoy producing videos, articles and podcasts on a range of subjects, recently focused mainly on politics and the environment. Born in the UK, I studied law at Nottingham University, then went on to attend the first-ever post-graduate radio journalism college in London. After working as a radio journalist in the UK and then Switzerland from 1984 to 1995, I returned to the UK to complete a post-graduate diploma in film at Bournemouth Film School. I have been working as a video journalist ever since.
