DAYBREAK WITH EVONNE FERGUSON

Broadcast Details: Saturday 19th August, 7.00am

Elspeth Hanson will be up with the early birds to ease you into the weekend with her gentle blend of music from across the centuries, plus regular intervals for news and weather, and at 9.15 we explore the lesser-known realms of nature on our island in Nature File with ecologist, Anja Murray.

Nature File Episode 25 – Ants

Four different species of ant occur in Ireland. Some build enormous anthills in ancient grassland habitats, some take butterfly larvae off to farm them; others are content to simply live amongst patio stones and wait till conditions are right before producing a winged generation that take to the air in a frenzy of mating. 

Explore the lives of ants on this Saturday’s Nature File.
