Spring Watch

[pebbles]

Did anyone watch this show last year presented by Bill Oddie and Kate Humble? It was a fantastic show which ran every night on BBC2, covering the progress of Spring up and down the country. It had massive veiwer ratings and this year its expected to get more than ever. If you love wildlife, nature, and the progress of Spring, then watch this show when it airs. the BBC havent given an exact date for its first show, but if you watch one programme, you will make sure you watch all off them!!!

Love this prog and can't wait for it to start again!! ;D

Watched it last year too, as did my parents!! We have an interest in birds, as we have House Martens come every year to where my folks live and it seems that either every house we have ever lived in has had House Martens nest or my Mam attracts them!!

We always go out for one day over the Christmas, Easter and August Leave Period, when I go home, to see if there are any Pheasants, Kestrels or Buzzards about the countryside and spend a few hours by the river - not for hunting or fishing but just to see what animals are about and how many there are and to take pics, if possible!!

I like to go to Hay - on - Wye after Christmas as there is a Stud Farm near there and I like to see the new foals and all the Horses!!
Love

Hi All
It's been trying here all afternoon (to snow that is)!! It is sticking, but mainly on the grass and on the cars. It seems to have been sleeting off and on for the last few hours now

Hi Guys,

Spring Watch will be back on in May for three weeks. Once I know the dates I will post them here. If you love wildlife and nature and you have never sen this show before I recommend you tune in. Last year BBC2 had huge viewing figures for this programme. Its wonderful!!!

[Anita]

Great news - not long to wait now then, Yvonne. My folks will be glued to it as well. My Mum and Dad regularly go out for a couple of hours hoping to spot a few buzzards or pheasants.

One of my friends back home Brian-John lives near Llangorse Lake now and he cares for Kestrels - has done since he was a boy and works as a conservationist. ;D

I've a few Bird Books he found for me to Identify the birds we get down here (conservation area). Once we get a permanent residence I am going to set up a bird table like my Mam has in the garden.

I have two bird feeding stations in my garden Nita, they bring in allsorts of birds, but the strangest one I have ever seen there is one that looked like a Squirrel!!!!!
