Tir and the Wood Warbler

BBC Radio Wales - Country Focus, Tir and the Wood Warbler

We discuss culture, land use and nature, and hear a songbird sing in the Celtic rainforest

Exploring our relationship between land and people in Wales ,and identifying the dulcet tones of a wood warbler.

Concern over the 'worrying' state of nature in our national parks in Wales.   The Campaign for National Parks  calls for urgent action to halt and reverse biodiversity declines so National Parks can properly contribute to the UK’s efforts in tackling the nature and climate crisis.   

The annual Hay literature festival begins and not to miss out on Country Focus, we've a book selection for you!  "Tir: The Story of the Welsh Landscape" discusses the relationship between land and people in Wales.  We speak to the author, ecologist Carwyn Graves.

....and for our red-listed, Bird of Conservation Concern this spring month, we have a lesson in how to pick out the trills of the Wood Warbler in a Celtic Rainforest near Dolgellau
