Re: wildlife gardens BBC

On the serious side I'm more on the side of those who have raised reservations about this prog. On the light-hearted side it certainly is good entertainment.

Three episodes now - water-vole garden, badger garden and now red squirrel garden. I realised that the show would have to move about the country, so when they got to Scotland (based on the nature of the series so far) I thought we might get Golden Eagle garden - in comparison to that I suppose red squirrel garden isn't so bad. Will one of the rest of the episodes be a big garden by the sea that is to become grey seal garden?

Still hoping forlornly that one episode might be a tiny inner-city garden, currently frequented by the local moggies ("Ah yes, these droppings indicate a feline species is already using this garden", "What, Wild Cats?", "No, probably more like a flea-bitten ginger Tom"), which will be transformed into House Sparrow garden or Bumblebee garden.

Enough sarcasm already!

Sorry, there's more. What exactly was the point of the badger set? Were they homeless badgers? Isn't wildlife gardening more about supporting wildlife rather than taking it out of the wild for your entertainment?
