Egg producers have started to bring judicial review proceedings against the government over its refusal to ban imports of eggs produced in illegal battery cages. The British Egg Industry Council says it wants enforcement, rather than DEFRA's voluntary commitment from the food industry not to use illegal eggs. We hear from a producer near Wrexham.

Now here's a conundrum - what do you do with an area of woodland that doesn't actually like trees? It was a dilemma faced by Forestry Commission Wales after trees refused to grow in Bwlch Cefn Llian woodland, just north of Rhayader in mid-Wales. Attempts were made to re-stock about three and a half hectares but try as they might the wet conditions were against them. We find out the solution with the local wildlife trust.

Bird experts unveil their latest weapon in a bid to shed light on the secret life of the elusive honey buzzard - a camcorder.

Harvest mice are rarely sighted and recorded so we have very little evidence of their population and distribution. The thinking is that they are declining with changes in farming practice. 95% of the breeding harvest mice population dies out in winter months but we sent our community reporter Huw Jenkins out before Christmas to learn how to hunt for their nests

And we've got one more opportunity to help spot wildlife for you - in a project to survey brown hares in Wales. Numbers have declined dramatically since the Second World War, but there could be signs that these secretive but distinctive animals are returning to sensitively managed farmland. So if you spot any the South and West Wildlife Trust would love to hear from you.
