It's a sizzling August and Rob faces a predicament - he's overrun by tomatoes but why aren't they ripening?

Father tells us what our senses have to look forward to over the coming weeks, including some fascinating uses of straw and an amazing fact about a woodpecker's tongue.

Speaking of woodpeckers, we end up in a state of pure confusion over the 'lesser spotted woodpecker'. Is it called this because it's never spotted or because it has fewer spots? Turns out it's neither!

Father talks us through what he's going to be foraging this month and we finally address one of the big questions of the natural world - why is it good luck to be pooed on by a bird?
