Frogs, Moths and Daily Walks

Join Mark Stephen and Euan McIlwraith for the latest outdoor activities from Shetland to the Borders, plus the key stories for those who live and work in the countryside.

Helen Needham wonders how we can make our familiar daily exercise routes more interesting by receiving some tips from the Natural Navigator, Tristan Gooley.

We chat to Judith Fish MBE, owner of the Applecross Inn about how her business is coping with lockdown and how the remote community is faring as well.

Mark and Euan delve into bird folklore once again with poetry and legend around one of our more distinctive birds.

Radio Scotland colleague and friend of Out of Doors, Bill Whiteford and his wife Linda head out on a wander around their home in Bonnybridge for this week鈥檚 daily exercise.

Mark makes a moth trap to see what kind of insects are around at this time of year. We find out more about what moths and butterflies are up to at the moment from Dr Mark Young.

Saturday is International Save the Frogs Day so Euan heads down to his pond to see what the tadpoles are up to and we find out about a new app to help people design and build ponds in their gardens from James Stead of Froglife who joins us down the line.

Our blast from the recent past comes in the form of part of our interview with nature writer Jim Crumley recorded last March.
