Farmers cannot be guaranteed anonymity if they cull badgers as part of a controversial trial in west Somerset and west Gloucestershire. Agriculture Minister Jim Paice MP says that it will be impossible for the public not to find out who is taking part in a trial this summer to determine how safe, humane and effective controlled shooting of badgers is.

So far, this January has been two degrees centigrade warmer than average. This mild winter is good news for earthworms and beetles which are thriving in the warm soil. Angela Frain visits Caroline Corsie at Lower Smite Farm run by the Worcestershire Wildlife Trust to dig up some worms.
