S2:E5 - New life at the coast and a r-eel-y modern mystery

On today’s show, We delve into a very modern mystery - where have
all the eels gone? Despite being one of our most recognisable
fish species, eels have disappeared at an alarming rate - and no
one knows why. Not only that, there are many other surprising
secrets eels are not willing to reveal to the human race just
yet. Have a listen to find out why. 


We'll also be enjoying a day out at the beach accompanied by a
very cute puppy called Betsy, and sauntering along the saltmarsh
to discover all the new life that is bursting into the world at
this time of year.


Our ‘What 3 Birds’ feature is back, helping you to identify three
bird calls you may hear at this time of year and we look at what
else you can spot this month in our 'Wildlife Wow's'.
