Hi there, its Peter here. Weve got a busy programme for you tonight. We'll be asking if the economic dream for foreign migrants working in East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire is turning into a nightmare as we investigate why Polish workers are turning their back on our region and heading home to Poland.
Also tonight, after new figures from the RSPCA show that attacks on pets with air guns is rising, we'll be speaking with a Scunthorpe woman, whose pet cat paid the ultimate price after a vicious attack. Well have her story on the programme tonight. And we'll be taking a look at the Peregrine Falcons making their home in Lincoln Cathedral. Theyve definitely got a room with a view! But they are now going to be the stars of a new RSPB web cam. So find out tonight on the programme how you can get a birds-eye view of these beautiful aerial predators nests! Plus if you've ever fancied living the Good Life and growing your own fruit and veg, but you've no idea how to go about it, then we'll have the answer for you. Perhaps I should pay attention to this one! East Riding Council are launching a community allotment to help you do just that and apparently its not just about becoming more green fingered! Although youll be able to meet experienced horticulturalists to get some top tips for producing compost and how to cultivate your spuds, its also a great way of making friends and keeping fit. Were scouting around the newsroom and will be sending our most green fingered reporter to take a look! Paul will be with us as normal for the forecast too. Thats on BBC One at half past six. I hope you can join me then. Wild Boar To be honest, this isnt something that I think about much. Because so much of the UK is so industrialised or urbanised, you forget how wild parts of our country can be. So I was surprised at this story. I read that boar hunting is to return to some of our woodland in order to keep numbers of the animal down. Now, I hadnt really realised that there were large numbers of wild boar roaming about through our forests, never mind enough to require a cull to be sanctioned. Were not to worry though if we fancy a stroll through our woods, as they pose little threat to walkers and might only be dangerous if a sow thinks youre about to threatened her piglets. Also its said that farmers are concerned that wild boar may spread diseases like foot and mouth and swine fever. Perhaps Im not going to the right forests, but Ive never seen any sign of any wild boar! I think I might get a shock if I did though! This selective cull has come in four hundred years after the last wild boar hu! nt by King James 1. So there you go. I had no idea that wild boar were increasing in numbers in the UKs woodland. Eclipse Im not sure if the weather is going to be kind to star gazers tonight. But theres a treat for us if the fog clears and the clouds disappear and if youre prepared to stay up too! I think this sight might be appreciated by anyone, who works the night shift tonight! I always get lunar eclipse and solar eclipses mixed up. The Moon though should take on a dramatic blood red appearance as the moon passes through the Earths shadow. What needs to happen, and it doesnt happen often, is for the sun, the Earth and the moon to form a straight line in space. There wont be another total lunar eclipse until 2010. But youll have to set your alarm as the partial eclipse will start about 1.43am according to NASA and the total eclipse will start about 3.01am. Theyre very precise arent they?! So if youre on a nightshift, then look out for that! Well, thats it from me. Enjoy your day and join me tonight if you can.
