BBC One - Countryfile Spring Diaries, Series 2, Episode 3

Keeley Donovan joins a group of volunteers renovating mountain shelters in the Highlands.

Countryfile spin-off series unveiling the secrets of spring. Margherita Taylor learns whether the future of farming could be more female. And do birds have accents?

On the show today, Keeley signs up for some DIY with a difference, as she joins a group of volunteers renovating vital mountain shelters in the Scottish Highlands. And the challenges of building a work take on a whole new meaning when you're three miles from the nearest road! Meanwhile, Margherita is in the Cotswolds meeting one of the last surviving Land Girls, 93-year-old Elizabeth Henderson, to discover whether the future of farming could be more female. Joe Crowley is in the Vale of Evesham with a group of locals who are so mad about our favourite spring vegetable, asparagus, they have a festival to celebrate it - complete with a fortune-telling asparomancer! Steve Brow is in Cambridgeshire to discover how some of our birds have different accents depending on where in the country they come from. And Paul will be finding out how you can get a bumper crop of fruit from your trees this year.
