Hi All
The popular BBC wildlife series ‘Springwatch’ is back and will be live from the RSPB’s Ynys-hir nature reserve near Machynlleth in mid-Wales this year. It will be coming to you on Monday 28 May and the webcams are now live.
Check them out.
We hope you all enjoy the show for the next few weeks

oops this was meant as reply to a post much earlier on can't delete sorry
Excellent shots of the young Nuthatches out of the nest last night, how strange that they immediately split up when they leave the nest, and how difficult for their parents to find them! I was getting excited about the Blackcaps' nest, only to have the Weasel put in an appearance! Yes, I know it's got to eat too, and probably has its own nest with babes that need feeding. Quite a rare sight too these days. Hope the Blackcaps can try again.
A thing of beauty is a joy forever.
And yet, I get the feeling that this years programme isn't running as smoothly as it usually does. There have been numerous continuity errors. Both mechanical and human. They frequently forget what is coming up next. Maybe it's just me. But I have been quite disappointed with this years effort.
Perhaps the midges are getting to them.
Hope everyone is ready for tonight's episode, I am looking forward to seeing the continuing Peregrine story! I will be watching and on this board during and after the show, any questions that need answering or just general chat feel free to send me a message! Cheers! Ben
Well. I must concede. In spite of my earlier comment. Tonight's programme was brilliant. I loved the Peregrines and the Goldcrests. I did actually doze off half way through. But that was through general tiredness, not boredom. I might have a re-run through Iplayer later.
Glad you liked it Goldfynche, i think the Peregrine story is very interesting behaviour with the 3 adults! The cat story is also quite interesting, hope they touch on it more.
Oops! I must definitely watch it on iplayer. I don't recall any cats.
Having just returned from that part of the world I can say with conviction that the weather has been hideous and further rain and cold temp's are not going to be helping things. On the bright side, Monday was lush though so hopefully that gave plenty of opportunity to feed up.
I can confirm that the midges are as awful as they look on the show!
