This episode goes off with a BANG as Chris Skinner introduces us to an unofficial experiment he's conducting on a field full overwinter wild bird seed mix at High Ash Farm.

He's highlighting a loophole that currently exists whereby shooting is still allowed on areas like this that are supposed to be dedicated to promoting wildlife. 

Matthew Gudgin then joins Chris and Rat at Foxes Grove to continue their fungal foray from last week's episode. They look at the deadliest mushroom in existence before answering questions in the farm truck.

Stay tuned until the very end of the podcast to join the ducks at dinner time.
