Show Notes
On today’s show, We delve into a very modern mystery - where have all the eels gone? Despite being one of our most recognisable fish species, eels have disappeared at an alarming rate - and no one knows why. Not only that, there are many other surprising secrets eels are not willing to reveal to the human race just yet. Have a listen to find out why.
We'll also be enjoying a day out at the beach accompanied by a very cute puppy called Betsy, and sauntering along the saltmarsh to discover all the new life that is bursting into the world at this time of year.
Our ‘What 3 Birds’ feature is back, helping you to identify three bird calls you may hear at this time of year and we look at what else you can spot this month in our 'Wildlife Wow's'.
