Wild birds in crisis
Every species of wild bird in the UK is continuing to decline at a stark rate – according to the latest data.
Guest presenter Ben Garrod wants to understand why wild birds are in trouble despite government promises to halt nature decline by 2030.
Ben goes birdwatching in Norfolk to see the impact for himself and then heads back to the studio to hear about the kind of threats birds face and what is happening to tackle the problem.
Also this week, after two stranded Nasa astronauts were finally brought home to Earth following a nine-month stint in space, we ask why it was such a big moment for SpaceX – and what this might mean for Nasa.
Science journalist Caroline Steel drops in with her picks of the week’s news, including dark oxygen and floating iguanas, and we find out what makes a good day according to science...
Presenter: Ben Garrod
Producers: Dan Welsh, Sophie Ormiston & Gerry Holt
Field Producer: Stephanie Tam
Editor: Martin Smith
Production Co-ordinator: Jana Bennett-Holesworth
