11/05/2023 Sunset clause abandoned, bird flu in wild birds, agri-tourism

The sun sets on the Government’s ‘sunset clause’ which would have meant thousands of laws inherited from the EU disappearing at the end of the year. The Wildlife Trusts welcome the news.
Avian flu has had a devastating impact on seabird populations. Today though, some rare good news: the Noss National Nature Reserve just off the east coast of Shetland is reopening to the public after closing last year due to the virus.
As part of our week looking at rural tourism, we visit a b&b in Devon which has been inspired by an Italian agriturismo, a farm where the food grown is part of the accommodation experience.

Presented by Caz Graham and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
