[redman41]

New Series begins tonight on BBC2 @ 8.30pm followed by Unsprung @ 9.30pm.
Great to see the series return and looking forward to the WebCams as well.
Hope the Ed can give us a 'Sticky' which will enable us to comment on the Programme content etc and also view the Cams

The Ed has duly obliged and re-stickied this Post which will enable feedback and comment as the Series progresses over 8 weeks.
Thanks Ed !

Commenting on last Friday's Programme
Michaela Strachan is no Naturalist as she is more of a Presenter, whereas Kate Humble is a Naturalist and far more knowledgeable.
Martin and Chris are very good though and the next few weeks will be very interesting regarding the different locations and content etc.
Hope they have some webcams soon

Be nice if they could include some red kites, and other BOPs that are around all year.... and maybe some more advice on feeding birds in our gardens

Thanks Ed XXXX

[Chaffinch]

Yes, thanks Ed xx

[rowanwitch]

Autumnwatch night again... cushions already on the floor in case of swooning... smelling salts.... and looking forward to seeing what's about at the moment... especially incoming migrants

[redman41]

The incoming Migrants will be the lesser spotted Puddyducks arriving in Birmingham sooner rather than later !!!! lol

[rowanwitch]

oh dear better get more bird food in then... seriously though for those who don't watch its a really good approach to wild life presenting...David Attenborough said it was the best current wild life broadscasting and he should know

[Chaffinch]

Wines opened and breathing, choc's out, now anything else?

[Chaffinch]

I enjoyed last weeks AW, but thought this weeks was much, much better, even thought Marwatsit was calmer and better. Loved the rockpool bit on unsprung to.

[Robinia]

Yes they were great last night & Michaela looked a lot calmer...I like her anyway though & I'd be over excited, twittery & flirty if I was on there with Chris and Martin. :o)

[Chaffinch]

Beautiful day, in sunny Hampshire, been out all day lots of birds spotted, but no Redwing yet.

[rowanwitch]

to hell with twittery and flirty I'd just grab martin and tell him there was a rare bird in the bushes.............

[ladybirder]

Hmm Michaela still got some stick for her excitability on Points of View this week. But if Sir David Attenborough says it's the best wildlife TV programme around then that'll do for me. X

[ethandron]

d'you reckon martin has had laser eye surgery or contacts? it used to be a bit distracting the way he was always shoving his specs up and down, he doesn't actually use specs at all now. he is rather dashing though, with or without specs :)

[rowanwitch]

laser I think SWOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!! thud

[rowanwitch]

The boys and the blond fluffy one are back tonight
Wine is in the fridge...swooning space prepared... expect more badgers and I think its the marine stuff this week... so a TV trip to North Wales is on the cards...not as good as being there but looking forward to it

[redman41]

Yes it's swooning time for some of the Ladies tonight but I really like the programme myself.
We need more Webcams though like on Springwatch

[Chaffinch]

Agree about the webcams Redman, but we dont have to worry about Rowan tonigt, I sent her a blow up matress, as I though she may hurt herself!!!

Woodburner lit, red opened,................matress in place

[rowanwitch]

Thank you swooning completed successfully I want a raven for christmas got the quiz right too on the second attempt

[Chaffinch]

Johny Kingdom and Lloyd thingy on unsprung ..........Brilliant thank you BBC, and I dont say that often!
