Chris Skinner treats us to a special chorus as he captures the dawn of the vernal equinox.

Matthew Gudgin then joins Chris at High Ash Farm to admire the spring blooms and varieties of nettles before embarking on a mathematical counting and concentration challenge. Using the truck and very long piece of string, the pair try and spot as many hares as possible on one of the farms larger fields.

They are inundated with questions this week covering subjects from bird and frog behaviour, to the importance of keeping dogs on leads during bird nesting season.
