Mark and Euan visit an electric vehicle event at the transport museum in Alford. Plus discussion on recordings of wildlife and rainfall; Cultybraggan in Comrie and tawny owls.

Mark and Euan visit an electrical vehicle event at the transport museum in Alford.  

With Brexit never far from everyone’s lips, Euan speaks with Jonathan Scott of Loch Fyne Seafarms, who’ve decided – in the event of Brexit -  dealing with Europe is simply not a viable option and planning to export anywhere BUT the EU.

A high amount of Information on Scotland’s wildlife comes from the recordings of keen volunteers.  However the information then gathered can then be difficult to access in a user friendly way.  Mark finds out more from the Scottish biodiversity Information Forum and a group called Buglife 

SEPA are looking to recruit volunteers across the country to record levels of rainfall in their area. Karen MacKenzie speaks with one long term volunteer and to an hydrologist from SEPA about what it involves.

Mark visits a medical herbalist, based in a Nissan hut at the former world war two prisoner camp, Cultybraggan, now owned  by the Comrie Development Trust.   

And wildlife guide Simon Eaves takes Euan into the woods near Loch Garten in search of some tawny owls.
