  • Summary

  • Matthew Gudgin returns to High Ash Farm welcomed by Chris Skinner who points out the latest growth on nearby yews and the birds benefiting nearby.

    After a short drive the pair step back in time a couple of years and see the effects of drought on trees. They then fast forward two years and witness the beginnings of future foxgloves.

    It's a dank day but Chris shows off the fact that flowers can still emerge at this time of year and are important for winter moths needing nectar at dusk. He also introduces us to a woodland plant with a special trick up its sleeve!

    Questions from listeners include photographs of a magpie hitching a ride on deer, happy bats and sugarbeet.
