The wren conducts the dawn chorus for this episode of Chris Skinner’s Countryside Podcast.

Chris Skinner and Matthew Gudgin stomp through the woodland to chomp on the edible wild garlic.

The dwindling bluebells are going over and their shadow brings the early purple orchid to the fore. Chris explains their many names and mentions throughout history and literature.

Chris and Matthew sit down to answer your questions whilst waiting and watching for treecreepers to appear. No larger than a cotton reel, they’re really tricky to spot, will Matthew get to finally see them?
