Fields, hedgerows, verges, birds and bees – and a fledgling pipe band

Field names, helping the bees, spring birdsong and a new pipe band in Kilkeel.

Gibson remembers the names of fields in a neighbouring farm while the gathering of such names is the subject of a book from the Loup Women’s Group.
With chat about how the unmown verges are helpful to our bees, Willie reads John Stevenson’s poem “To a Dandelion”.
Jonnie hears about spring birdsong from Dick Glasgow, and Rachel has sounds of another kind in her ears on a visit to a new pipe band in Kilkeel.
