Our last Posting lasted 4 weeks so hopefully the Ed can give us another 'sticky' so that we can post comments on the ongoing Series.

Another good programme tonight, nice to see Bill looking so well

I work in Portsmouth about 30 miles from where I live, and we get lots of pied and grey wagtails in the city, but non in the southdowns, however last week spotted two grey wagtails in my garden, I do wonder if its because the weather has been so warm, and the hedge rows are still so full of fruit?

It was a good programme last night and I really enjoy the Unsprung sessions. It's a shame it's nearly finished now as this team seems to work really well.
Loved the starlings - don't see very many of those round here any more.

i hope there is a Christmas special again... but they haven't mentioned it... Ok...Last swooning day this week... I want MHG under the mistletoe by candlelight but no badgers!!!!!

[redman41]

It's a shame that the Series is ending on Friday along with Unsprung as it would have been nice if it had carried on until Xmas !
With a bit of luck they may do a Xmas Special otherwise we will have to wait for the next Series of Springwatch.
No more swooning after Friday Ladies !!!

I thought Chris mentioned a xmas special...or maybe that was in my dreams... ;o)

[rowanwitch]

[redman41]

OK, but he's not having my share of the Turkey and Xmas Pudding !!!

[rowanwitch]

He won't need it he'll be too busy to eat...

[Chaffinch]

Well folks, its the last one tonight, so pin back your lugholes, get comfortable, (Rowan, prepare to swoooooon) and enjoy............

I notice they showed Iolo doing Pufflings again... Ladybirder will still be swooning... I even got used to Michaela by the end...

Loved the flirting capercaillie

[bensmum]

I hope we see more of Iolo in future programmes :D It's a shame it's finished now although we have the Christmas and winter specials to look forward to at least.

Yep I think Michaela must have been told to tone it down a bit, she stopped gushing so much. Think she's OK. Just watched the last one that I videoed last night. I wish it wasn't the last as it's a bit of joy gone out of Friday evenings. Loved the Black Grouse leking bit as I've seen a lek up in Teesdale at some disgustingly early hour in the morning. There was loads of them and this eerie sound came up off the moor just before dawn. Magnificent. I shall still get my fix of Iolo as I've got the Wild Wales recordings to drool over. Slobber slobber:-) XX

[rowanwitch]

two episodes of Wild wales last night There is def something appealling about Mr williams

Not sure of the exact date of the Christmas Special but the Winter Special is expected to be around the end of February as far as I can make out

I think the Christmas special is on Boxing Day.
