Chris Skinner starts the episode by capturing the dawn chorus from song thrushes, wood pigeon and a bantam cockerel.
Matthew Gudgin is shocked to be greeted by a stoat before they've even started! They learn about how this small predator hunts and navigates its way around High Ash Farm. Chris managed filmed the stoats and you can see this footage here.
Before answering listener questions the pair delight at the blackberry bushes busy with the hum of bees and one of the symbols of Tudor Britain, the dog rose. Chris explains how important rose rips were after the war as a source of vitamin C.
They answer a plethora of questions including wood pigeon coos, a flint find and the lack of poppies this year.
