Chris Skinner’s Countryside Podcast
Science:Nature
Chris Skinner and terrible terrier, Rat take refuge in the farm truck from Storm Kathleen and share the benefits of wind for farmers and for pollination. Chris explains the life of the ash trees and why they thrive in certain areas.
Matthew Gudgin joins Chris at the yard and they delight at the arrival of swallows at the farm.
The pair marvel at the tractor working in the field before talking crop circles on the outskirts of Notre Dame Wood. They take a look at the maturing British native trees including the blossoming wild cherry being enjoyed by the bees and butterflies.
Finally, Chris and Matthew bask in the sun and answer listener questions about owls, troubled bees and a hummingbird hawk moth.
