Episode 54: The Norfolk Snout
Manage episode 439979245 series 3510050
Chris Skinner and Matthew Gudgin begin by watching a charm of goldfinches busy feeding on their favourite food.
They head to a different part of the farm to watch the latest colony occupying a hole in a sweet chestnut tree. Chris describes the various species that trees can support throughout their lives.
Chris quietly admits to Matthew a plant that has appeared in his wild bird winter seed mix that's grown in error at High Ash Farm.
They get excited as they talk about a moth species that has been rediscovered after a 50 year absence!
Out of the wind and in the warmth of the farm truck, the pair answer listener questions; this week featuring a photo of a wheatear, a video of congregating swallows, migrators and pollinators.
