Buttercups on Countryfile

Buttercups featured on Countryfile on 11th March 2012, as the result of research Dr Elodie Briefer and her colleague from the Queen Mary University London have been doing into the behaviour and ability of goats to learn. It was wonderful to see the gang on TV - so many thanks to all who made this possible.
