In this episode Stephen has lunch with some ducks and Kate gets an unusual view of a sparrowhawk. They are joined by Policy Officer Isobel Mercer to discuss how well Scotland's protected areas are actually looked after in practice and what the future holds for these key habitats.
There's also a trip into the woods to go looking for fungi with James from the Comms team and a lovely autumnal message from Gullane beavers.
