What listeners will find here

A hermit crab’s shell hunt turns into a watery wildlife mission
Hermit crab needs a new home, but none of the options seem to measure up on the mysterious SWCM scale. Ranger Rae and the Wildlifers step in to help, while Wildcat’s fear of the water could make the search much trickier.
Lost in the Severn Valley, Roxy and Bat turn a hike into a wildlife navigation quest
Roxy and Bat get lost on a hike through the Severn Valley and try to find their own way home without calling for help. Along the riverbank, animals offer navigation tips before an Arctic tern crash-lands with an urgent problem that adds extra stakes to the journey.
A spider tries to make friends in this gentle wildlife adventure
A friendly spider keeps scaring people away, so Ranger Rae and the Wildlifers investigate why spiders cause such panic. The episode turns that misunderstanding into a chance to explore what spiders are actually good for.
A nervous young robin faces first-song jitters at Powis Castle
A young robin is about to join the dawn chorus for the first time at Powis Castle, but stage fright gets in the way. Ranger Rae, the Wildlifers, and a scene-stealing peacock rally around to help Robin find the confidence to sing.
A wild cabbage count goes off track on Lundy Island
On Lundy Island, a Pygmy Shrew is trying to finish the annual count of rare wild cabbages, but a feral goat keeps disrupting the numbers. Ranger Rae and the Wildlifers step in to help, with an old friend joining the effort.
