Ellie Harrison and Matt Baker are in the Brecklands on the Norfolk-Suffolk border. Ellie finds out all about a major conservation effort to save two Brecks species at threat of extinction. She also hears how the Brecks rabbit is playing a key role in this effort. Later, Ellie meets the mum-and-daughter team helping to make Ipswich the most hedgehog-friendly city in the UK. Matt joins an arable farmer who is able to harvest veg all year round thanks to the Brecks' sandy soils and temperate climate. He also meets the pig farmer who swears by the soil for rearing his livestock. Margherita Taylor joins a shepherd turned artist for a lesson in watercolours out in the Brecks, and Adam Henson has got his hands full with two alpacas who have an unusual job to do. Tom Heap looks at the animal diseases worrying farmers at this time of year and asks if there is a chink in our armour
