Chris Skinner shares his early morning by showcasing the dawn chorus featuring solos from a sparrow, collared dove and song thrush.
After a very wet winter and now an even wetter spring, Chris reflects on what high rainfall means for the farm in the next few months.
Chris and Matthew Gudgin observe a family of inquisitive Little Owls at the farm. Will they see more than a wing flutter?

They visit the noisy rookery and admire the magnificent nests and behaviours of the birds.
The pair then sit and answer listener questions about bird feed preferences, Dunnocks and frogspawn.
