Doormice, eco-dwellings and bird cams.

They're cute and cuddly but under threat - why we all need to hold a tea party to save the doormouse The eco-dwellers opening their doors to visitors to show off their lifestyle And the secret cameras letting us take a look into the fascinating lives of birds

Children living on farms in rural mid Wales are to be taught how to look after animals. Powys County Council is targeting the county's 5,000 farms and children as young as seven will be shown how to care for pets and some working animals.

They look cute and cuddly but the charismatic doormouse is a threatened native species. This year marks the 21st anniversary of the National Doormouse monitoring programme to try to protect the creature. And all sorts of special events are being organised to find out more about the mammal and to try to ensure it's future. One thing we're all being asked to do is hold a doormouse tea party.

How visitors are being invited to tour the substantial numbers of "eco houses" in Pembrokeshire, to find out more about things like small-scale hydro power, new super-efficient woodburning ranges and low impact washing machines. If you wish to join one of the tours follow the link to the eco-tours.

And the new cameras fixed onto remote spots on cliffs at the RSPB South Stack nature reserve giving visitors a big brother style opportunity to see close-up views of nesting birds including the rare chough and puffins.
