Episode description

Ricky speaks to Ruth Wilson who is the Farmland Pollinator Officer (All-Ireland Pollinator Plan) at the National Biodiversity Data Centre, a post funded by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (DAFM).
Bird of the Week is the Long-tailed Tit, an adorable and gregarious species.
