Well, Springwatch starts again on Monday. I for one am looking forward to it although it has never been the same without Bill Oddie. I have a lovely personal memory of Bill. He was speaking at an event at the NEC in Birmingham and then was signing copies of his new bird book. It was lovely to meet him face to face. He was very shy but charming.
I live just up the road from Martin Mere WWT and I love it when the programme comes from there - so many familiar sights. I hope it returns there before too long.

If its no fun Yer no doin it right!
Thanks for the nice comments guys, it is true this current red button selection will run until Wednesdays show and then probably the new photos for that week will replace the old.
John :-)
For viewing or photography right place right time is everything. I'd rather be in the right place with poor kit than have the best kit and be in the wrong place.
I enjoyed Springwatch tonight. The 'Britain has Talons' slot will be useful to identify birds of prey.
Did you see that baby Roe deer bouncing around all over the meadow? Sooooo sweet!
Aye Pipit thats a good part of the show.
All in All I enjoyed the whole thing tonight .
AUTUMNWATCH HAS A LOT TO ANSWER FOR....

After hearing that Springwatch wanted to know about leucistic animals we have seen, I sent in one of my photos of my leucistic baby sparrow - and guess what ... they have added it to their list of favourites!!!!!!!! I am chuffed to bits about it. It isn't a brilliant photo, but she is such an endearing little bird.
Well done Sparrow!! :-)

Great news. May I take the credit for mentioning Springwatch or are you a big fan like most of the rest of us?

Hi Hope
Springwatch were asking for photos of albino wildlife. Perhaps they would accept your little Sparrow (although they did show one tonight.) Sparrow could send a pic of her cute little leucistic Sparrow too.
