Evonne Ferguson will be up with the early birds to ease you into the weekend with her selections of music from across the centuries plus news and weather, and at 9.20 we explore the lesser-known realms of nature on our island in Nature File with ecologist, Anja Murray.

Episode 16 – Clover

Clover is a common flowering plant all over Ireland, loved by some and despised by others.  Gardeners see clover as a weed.  Farmers know it helps make soils more fertile.  Children suck the sweetness from its flowers.  Bees depend on it as a reliable source of nectar.  Nature File this week looks at how common clover is seen from so many different perspectives.
