The First Cuckoo and the Last Swallow

on BBC Radio 4 FM

It sounds like an obscure movement in philosophy, but phenology's more down to earth than that. It's the study of recurring natural events - when the first leaf or the first butterfly appears, or when the first swallow departs. Mark Whitaker meets the amateur nature watchers around the UK whose meticulous records are being collated to provide evidence on climate change. Another chance to hear this programme, first broadcast earlier this year. Producer Janet Graves
