David joins Kathryn to look at a big day on the area's calendar: the return of the Oxford A&P show. Agricultural shows are vital to the district's economy, which really took a hit through Covid-induced cancellations. Volunteers have been kept busy helping fledgling shearwater birds who crash land around the Kaikoura coast - they're part of the Hutton's Shearwater Charitable Trust which runs its Flysafe campaign in March and April.
