Meet the well-spoken ‘Bird Lady’ who has turned Jeremy Clarkson into a twitcher on Clarkson’s Farm and has an eye-opening history of naked stunts

Jeremy Clarkson has turned into a twitch thanks to his new Clarkson’s Farm co-star, who has a history of eye-popping nude displays.
Bird expert Hannah Bourne-Taylor, 39, appeared in the latest series of Clarkson’s TV show and impressed the former Top Gear presenter with her extensive knowledge of animals.
Ms Bourne-Taylor, who has written several books on ornithology, was able to identify which birds were nesting at Diddly Dam Farm simply by listening to their distinctive calls.
His encyclopedic knowledge of birds appears to have rubbed off on Clarkson, 66, who plans to turn large areas of his Cotswolds farm into special bird habitats.
Planning documents show Clarkson, who recently publicly announced he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer, will plant 25 trees at the site, as well as grassland and wildflowers, to provide ‘nesting opportunities’ for birds and ‘support a variety of invertebrate species’.
Clarkson has also pledged to erect hundreds of meters of hedgerows, which act as important habitats and nesting grounds for many British bird species.
This will ‘provide habitat and shelter for wildlife’, offer food sources including seeds and fruit, and act as a ‘wildlife corridor’ for birds.
Ms Bourne-Taylor, who lives near Diddly Squat Farm in rural Oxfordshire, is married to former Olympic rower and former Army Captain Robin.

The conservationist, who will return for the sixth series of Clarkson’s Farm, has a history of attracting attention for bird conservation.
In 2022, she walked naked through London, her body painted with feathers, to raise awareness of the rapidly declining population.
“Hannah has opened Jeremy’s eyes to a whole new world,” a source told The Sun.
‘He had no idea there were so many birds at Diddly Squat before he met her.
‘Now he hopes to attract even more; And that’s music to Hannah’s ears.’
Ms Bourne-Taylor’s appearance on the popular TV show came as Clarkson shared the news that she had been diagnosed with an ‘aggressive’ cancer in the final two episodes of its fifth series.
In the fifth finale of the series, Clarkson announced that he received treatment for a malignant tumor in his prostate last August.
The final episode ended with the host telling viewers: ‘If this is successful I’ll see you in season six, if not I won’t. ‘Take care of everyone.’

In 2022, Ms. Bourne-Taylor walked naked through London, her body painted with feathers, to raise awareness of the rapidly declining population.
In the series, which is shot between 2024 and 2025, Clarkson revealed that he was diagnosed in May last year and told farm mate Kaleb Cooper that 10 percent of his prostate, ‘where the cancer is’, was ‘dead’.
He began treatment and underwent surgery in August before being hospitalized in the series’ ending scenes.
But in an interview last week, Clarkson said her cancer was now in remission after a PSA test two months ago revealed no signs of the disease.
Speaking to The Times, Trump said: ‘I am officially the luckiest man in the world, without a doubt. It was an aggressive type of cancer. It could spread, it could go to the pancreas, it could go anywhere, and that could cause problems.
‘That’s why I have to say to everyone reading this, please, please, please go and get checked out. It’s not offensive, it’s not undignified. And that’s a no-brainer.
‘I did, and that’s why I’m sitting here talking to you 11 months later. I have seen many people die from cancer. It’s not based on thinking about what it’s like to live knowing a disease will kill you.’
Clarkson’s daughter Emily also posted a sweet photo of the couple together on Instagram following the news of her recovery.
Sharing a loving post for her dad hours before Father’s Day in the UK, Emily wrote: ‘@prostatecanceruk @jeremyclarkson [blue heart emoji]’.

Emily hugged her father in the black-and-white photo as they both embraced drinks at a formal event they attended together.
He also posted a quote from Jeremy urging others to get checked: ‘So I have to say to anyone reading this, please, please go and get checked.
‘It’s not uncomfortable, it’s not undignified. And that’s a no-brainer. ‘I did it and that’s why I’m sitting here talking to you’.
Clarkson also took to social media to encourage his followers to ‘get tested’ for prostate cancer.
She said on Instagram: ‘Hello! Now those of you who are more careful will realize that I am not dead.
‘And I’m not just dead, I’m completely fine. And the reason I’m fine is because doctors caught prostate cancer early and diagnosed it early because I got tested.
‘And I know many of you will think you don’t want to get tested but these days it’s just a blood test.
‘And if you go to your doctor and they tell you you don’t have any symptoms and you’re not in the high risk category then lie. Say you have to get up to pee 32 times a night.
‘Because thousands of men die from prostate cancer every year in the UK. Don’t be one of them. ‘Get tested.’
