About this listen

Chris Skinner and Matthew Gudgin accidentally disturb birds feeding in a field with overwinter wild bird seed mix. He describes the various differences between the birds that feed there, in particular their beak shapes.

The pair observe the feeding logistics of a flock of starlings in a field prepped recently by the sheep.

Chris and Matthew stand at the edge of the badger set under the canopy of corsican pine trees which are utilised well by the buzzards. Chris describes his failed attempt at filming badgers feeding. Instead he caught them using the toilet.

Back in the farm truck they answer questions from listeners. From how he manages the rats on the farm to a nighttime safari in Costa Rica.
