Springwatch Tonight

[mikey4444]

There was amazing sequence in tonight's show. It was a Stone Curlew desperately defending its nest from an attack by a buzzard.

And the little bird won !

I know its nature red in tooth and claw, and all that, but I was rooting for the Curlew !

Every underdog has its day Mikey!

Yes agchristie...underdogs have an annoying habit of winning in the end !

I think the 'underdog' under stress has the advantage of acting in an unexpected manner and so surprising its predator.

It often happens that when a larger predator has killed a prey animal that had a young, the predator is confused as to what to do with the young ones if it doesn't run away.

That "Media URL" thing keeps knobbling the clickability. As far as I remember the "Enter YouTube Link here" box developed a glitch and AbEd said they were unable to fix it.

Other than that, URLs work best when no other ASCII characters directly touch them. A space character at either end may help. I take no chances and always press return before pasting, so they are on a new line, by themselves

Hmm, same problem for me, there.

The "Share This Page" link offers this
