BBC Radio Wales - Country Focus, Salt Marsh Lamb and Sparrows

A year of special status for Gower lambs, and helping our garden birds.

How Salt Marsh lambs on Gower have enjoyed a year in the food spotlight, and common garden visitors the house sparrows are in decline.

It's a year since, Britain left the European Union but how have the last 12 months affected farming in Wales? We speak to the former conservative MP  Gutto Bebb in his role as the Farmers Union of Wales' chief executive.  Mental health - the personal tragedy that lies behind the festive cheer of a farmer who grows thousands of Christmas trees.  What makes Gower Salt Marsh lamb an iconic British food? River groups call for a review of the way water pollution incidents are investigated in Wales. And it's RSPB Garden Birdwatch we have the first in a series looking at bird species under threat.
