Beavers and Rooks

BBC Radio Wales - Country Focus, Beavers and Rooks

The added value of a wild beaver, and we go in search of a rookery.

The Park in the Past in Flintshire that has attracted an historic rodent, and why the caw of rooks heralds spring but the bird is in decline in Wales.

Anaerobic Digestors - good or bad?  Afonydd Cymru and Fish legal call on Welsh Government to stop river pollution from them.  We hear how a unique visitor has taken up residence at a Flintshire tourist attraction but what of other beavers in Wales?  We explore the landscapes of loss and life with author James Roberts.  And nature loss - how you can help turn around the misfortunes of this month's "Bird of Conservation Concern"  - the Rook.
