Sharing his journey back to good health, the writer worries over the late arrival of migrant birds to signal spring. From 2005.

Falling in love and discovering the wonders of the East Anglian landscape have all been part of the journey back to health.

But it is now April, and the migrant birds signalling the start of spring are worryingly late.

Written and read by Richard Mabey.
