BBC Radio Wales - Country Focus, Habitat, Plastics and the Willow Tit

A ban on single use plastic and we hear about one our fastest declining birds

What the new ban on single use plastic will mean for our highest mountain in Wales and the fast declining willow tit.

Plastic plates, cutlery, polystyrene takeaway food containers... just some of the items newly banned from being sold across Wales. Welcome news perhaps for Yr Wyddfa's ambition to be the world's first plastic-free mountain?

We hear graziers concerns about the future of farming on the tops of Bannau Brycheiniog National Park.

Why there are fears that the habitat Wales scheme could lead to a significant contraction in organic farming.

And for this November's bird of the month we're off to Pembrokeshire to hear about one our fastest declining native resident birds, that nevertheless seem to love our wet, damp, woodlands!
