Matt Baker and Ellie Harrison are in the Brecklands of Norfolk. And this being Easter Sunday, there's an abundance of bunnies. Matt finds out the important part rabbits play in maintaining the Breckland heath. He learns too about the history of warrening, where rabbits were farmed for their fur and meat, and discovers that it's the way rabbits graze the heath that makes it so good for one of our rarest visiting birds - the rare stone curlew. 

Ellie goes on a forage with a difference as she joins the artist raiding old barns for scrap metal to make sculptures with. Ellie also visits the mysterious Grime's Graves, the remains of Neolithic flint mines going back 6,000 years. She is shown how to make a flint tool, Neolithic style! 

Adam Henson profiles the second of Countryfile's Farming Heroes as part of the Food and Farming Awards. James Wong is in Liverpool launching this year's Grow Wild campaign.

The humble spud has been part of British life for 400 years. But these days the supply of fresh potatoes is outstripping demand - so should we be eating more or growing less? Tom Heap has been finding out.
