Springwatch - Worse Kept Secret!

Any ideas why I was told to shush on twitter for almost revealing where Springwatch was coming from this year, when it is in black and white in our members magazine and on the reserve website which has been chosen as the venue, and the reserve itself tweeted it was coming there three weeks ago!

I mean .. only 1 million people get that magazine ... hardly classified information anymore!

    I'm pretty sure Kate Humble said it at the end of the Springwatch Easter Special because I remember checking the reserve out!

    Yes Kate Humble did say it at the end of the Springwatch Easter special.

    So it is the worst kept secret as everybody knows it.

  • Did you know that Simon King is not doing Springwatch this year, or probably ever ?

  • I reckon you lot may end up with a life time ban for giving state secrets away,or maybe a spell in the tower,must have more leaks than the government.

    Birding is for everyone no matter how good or bad we are at it,enjoy it while you can

  • So what's the reason for all the secrecy? It's a reserve, so folk know that it's there, the RSPB + BBC have both reported that they are using it so ??? the hush every time its mentioned.

    Who knows what the reason for Simon King not being envolved, have I yet again missed the goings on!!

    To the Tower for me for lack of knowledge as well as being envolved in spilling state secrets!!

  • Hi Ant

    Look on the bright side, only you, the site members and a million people are the only ones to know.....

  • And all of twitter ... BBC Springwatch, the RSPB and Dyfi Ospreys have all tweeted that they are coming there .. an exclusive club! ;o)

    Doesn't bother me as such, but just mildly amused by the fact the pretense of a big reveal was kept up ..

    Absolutely delighted it is coming from Wales .. the birds talk tidy around 'ere!

    ;o)
