Join Chris Skinner at High Ash Farm for a captivating exploration of nature’s quirks in Norfolk’s countryside. This week, Chris unveils the ghostly spectacle of a spindle tree shrouded in the webs of brown tail moth caterpillars, a phenomenon both eerie and fascinating, while warning of their irritating hairs. The journey continues with a dive into the world of oak galls—marble galls and oak apples—revealing the hidden lives of gall wasps and the historical charm of Oak Apple Day. Amidst the bluebells of Foxes Grove, a heartwarming tale unfolds as a vixen adopts four orphaned cubs, raising a bustling family of eight, captured on camera for all to see on High Ash Farm’s Facebook page. From drought-stricken hay fields to the rich biodiversity of oak trees, Chris shares the wonders and challenges of rural life in May. Tune in for a blend of history, wildlife, and nature’s marvels!
