Springwatch/Springwatch Unsprung

[redman41]

It's back tonight on BBC2 at 8pm. Compulsive viewing.
Take a look at the 4 live Webcams on the Link ! Excellent.
I think it's on for the next 3 weeks.

Phew, I've just been through all the channels looking for Unsprung, must be on Friday.

Brill prog tonight.

Did anyone see Chris's programme on BBC1 at 7.30, very thought provoking and very, very worring?

[bensmum]

I saw Chris's programme chaffinch - it certainly makes you think, doesn't it?

[gingejbee]

I've got red kites circling above all day - they do get a bit boring, after a while!

[Chaffinch]

Hi bensmum, it certainly does, its on for the next 3 Mondays! I just wonder what us ordinary folk can do to help!

[redman41]

Springwatch Unsprung is on Wednesday at 8.30pm because Springwatch starts earlier at 7.30pm that night.
No Springwatch on Friday night.

[Maydup]

Thanks Redman, I'm out on Wednesday so I'll record it.

[rowanwitch]

Missed Chris's prog will try to find it on catch up... I never get tired of the red kites...its always the best bit about the journey to and from london

[Chaffinch]

Thanks redman, But WHY no Sprongwatch on Friday sulk, sulk

Rowan, I agree, I never tire of any bird, let alon the Red Kites, which we do get in the South Downs, but not as many as I'd like..............Love MHG new hair cut :)

[rowanwitch]

would like to run my fingers through those curls makes him look younger....now if he could be tempted into his bike leathers....

[Chaffinch]

Stay calm Rowen, you've another 20 days left! Still love Chris though, and Charlie is so cute, if a little young :(

[rowanwitch]

MHG is about my age...

Last night's Programme was enjoyable as usual. The only criticism I have is the report on the Beavers in Argyll interesting though it was. There is more than enough to go on at their location in Mid-Wales without the need to explore other locations in the UK.
They can use Springwatch Unsprung to highlight what viewers throughout the UK are reporting.
As far as swooning is concerned, NO Kate Humble does not do it for me, not my type at all. Good Presenter though as all of them are !!!
If I see someone struggling through the mud at Ynis Hir to get at MH-G I know it will be Rowan !!! lol
The Webcams are very good and I have them Open in a separate Tab........always something happening.

[Kleiber]

'morning, all. Must admit, I agree with you, redman, about the beaver thing. I got fed up with it last night. They really should concentrate on the wildlife in the area around Ynys-Hir, I think - much more interesting! And where are the ospreys? I've been following the Dyfi Osprey Project on the internet and it's amazing. K x

[redman41]

hopefully during the course of this series they will have a Webcam near the nest as it's only a short distance away from their base.
Keep an eye on their live Webcams which are excellent.

[redman41]

Springwatch is on 4 Times a week Mon-Thurs ( 12 parts ) and Unsprung is only on Wednesdays which is a shame as it compliments Springwatch very well.

[redman41]

Earlier start tonight at 7.30pm followed by Unsprung at 8.30pm. It's a shame that Unsprung is only on for 1 night per week, if my memory serves me correctly I'm pretty sure it was on more often in other series of Springwatch.
Looking at the Webcams this morning, those Redstart chicks are real Stars. They are a restless lot and should fledge this week.
How many Woodpeckers are there in that Nest ? 3 have gone but there is at least 1 left.
These cams are great !

[ladybirder]

Late tuning in today I'm afraid and got to go out soon. I'm wondering have all the Woodpeckers gone now? And were they all male babies with the red spot?

[rowanwitch]

I agree far too much beavering....a trip to the sand dunes at Ynyslas would be good too lots of rabbits and foxes and smaller mammals so cute babies to see and the DYfi estuary is pretty good for waders...

[Ric.ror]

Its the very best thing on
Anyone know how long its on for this time?

[redman41]

It's on 4 times a week and in 12 Episodes ric.ror
