Dyfi River

John Craven and Sean Fletcher are in Mid Wales around the Dyfi river, exploring the hidden stories of wildlife that flock to the area at this time of year - and the people ready to welcome them. It’s a true patchwork of habitats; salt marshes, mudflats, ancient woodlands and farmland. It’s so special that it’s been designated by the United Nations as part of a larger regional biosphere – one of only seven such places in the UK - due to its amazing wildlife and landscapes.\n\nJohn comes face to face with the visiting celebrity couple of breeding Ospreys who have made the area world-famous, as well as the conservation work to help the migrant pied flycatchers, fresh from their over 3000-mile journey from west Africa. To celebrate VE day, a local historian reveals the intriguing tale of a group of female army personnel brought to the area to conduct top secret work that was invaluable to the war effort. Meanwhile, Sean spends the day working on a nearby upland farm, where making a living while farming for wildlife is a constant challenge. \n\nAnd further afield, Adam is all abuzz for his latest new arrival - an army of bees he's hoping will prevent another expensive crop failure.
