Mark Forrest: Birds: pets or pests?

Birds: pets or pests?

BBC Local Radio - Mark Forrest, Birds: pets or pests?

Mark debates whether birds are feathered friends or winged rodents.

We're feathering our nest with a menagerie of unusual bird tales tonight. They've been getting their beaks into other people's business in Exeter, nesting at the top of of one of Britain's most iconic buildings, as well as chatting to the public in Hertfordshire. Mark catches up with a bird expert as he asks whether birds are pets or pests.

Get the round in! We're heading across the country tonight looking at the success of micro breweries. Experts say that their rise in popularity is good news for the British hop industry. Mark heads to a Worcestershire farm to hear from a grower, hears from a medieval micro brewery in a Nottingham cave, and finds out which brewery brews the perfect pint.

We head to a wildlife park in North Yorkshire to meet three very rare tiger cubs, born eight weeks ago and have just been unveiled to the public.

It's that time of year again....EXAM time. We'll be sympathising with the last minute cramming - by sharing some of our own exam woes.

Introducing tonight comes from Elena Larkin, a singer songwriter from Hartlepool, and Nick Tann formerly from London, now nestled between Winchester and Southampton.
