In Episode 2.15 of The Countryside Podcast with Chris Skinner, we’re back at High Ash Farm, where the first swallows of the season have arrived, heralding the promise of summer with their daring aerial acrobatics. Chris’s infectious enthusiasm shines as he shares the miraculous 5,000-mile migration of these tiny birds, weighing less than a sugar cube, and their pinpoint return to the farm’s stables. We also discover the delicate beauty of the common storks bill, a wildflower thriving in Norfolk’s drought-stricken sandy soils, with a surprising seed-dispersing trick that screws itself into the ground. From the hovering prowess of kestrels to the frenzied boxing matches of hares, this episode is bursting with springtime wonders. Joined by Matthew, Chris answers listener questions, marvels at buzzards’ million-receptor eyesight, and reflects on the farm as a haven for wildlife. Tune in for a joyful celebration of nature’s resilience and surprises, recorded under Norfolk’s bright blue skies.
