Campaigner and bird conservationist Hannah Bourne-Taylor captured the attention of Clarkson's Farm fans with her memorable appearance in the final two episodes of Season 5. The season also featured Jeremy Clarkson revealing his prostate cancer diagnosis.
Hannah's Role on Clarkson's Farm
In the episodes, Jeremy invited Hannah to Diddly Squat Farm to conduct a bird survey and identify bird species nesting on his land. She surprised him by identifying bird calls faster than his app and shared how an abandoned baby bird had nested in her hair for months before she reintroduced it to the wild in Ghana.
Who is Hannah Bourne-Taylor's Husband?
Hannah is married to former British Army officer and Olympic rower Robin Bourne-Taylor. The couple married in 2015.
Robin's Military and Olympic Career
Robin served in the army from 2003 to 2011, including a posting in Afghanistan for which he received the Conspicuous Gallantry Cross. He left active service in 2010 and transferred to the Regular Army Reserve of Officers in early 2011.
As an Olympic rower, Robin competed in the 2004 Athens and 2008 Beijing Olympics. He also won bronze medals at the 2003 Milan and 2007 Munich World Championships.
Robin's Current Work
Robin now works as a professional speaker, sharing his experiences on the frontline and in the Olympics.
The Bourne-Taylors' Life and Move to Ghana
In her 2022 book Fledgling, Hannah revealed that Robin took a new job in Ghana, prompting their move from the UK to Accra. She accompanied him as a 'trailing spouse' between 2013 and 2021, as reported by Nation Cymru.
Before this, Hannah worked as a photographer and copywriter in London, but her visa prevented her from working, leaving her isolated. In September 2018, she saved a baby bird whose flock had flown and nest had blown away, giving her a new purpose and changing her life.
The couple returned to Oxfordshire in 2021, where Hannah joined conservation efforts and wrote Fledgling.
Clarkson's Farm Season 5 is now streaming on Prime Video.
