Springwatch

[jezlee]

Is it just me, or is anyone else really going to miss settling down on the sofa with a cup of tea at 8pm to watch Springwatch? My wife and I have sat there, enthralled, for the past three weeks, and were both saddened to think it is the very last one tomorrow evening .... okay, it can get a little twee sometimes, and I just wish that Bill would reign himself in occasionally, but overall I think it can hardly be faulted, and you certainly cannot knock the obvious regard for our native wildlife in all concerned with making the programme, and why it is such a runaway success.

I'm certainly going to miss the 8pm slot but, hopefully, I'll catch up on my sleep deprication as I can't seem to turn off the Springwatch Nightshift! Everytime I go to turn off and get some kip I stop incase I miss something
Has been a brilliant series, though. It would be great if they could do summer- and winter watch too.

Couldn't agree more - I love it

It's like real life Soap.

Will definitely miss it

That's what I thought .... one for each of the seasons ... and make it four weeks at a time!!

Will defo miss it, would be nice if they did a hour a week program for the next few weeks, just summing up the past week, so we can see some of the birds fledge as well will miss this, like the eagle, hen harrier, barn owls etc.

I'll miss it too, even though I only caught it sometimes it was lovely knowing there was a comforting wildlife fix there for me every night if I wanted it!! Yes I'd like it year round too, perhaps swap presenters between seasons or something.....

I'll definitely miss it. It's not often you get the privilege to watch young owls, hen harriers etc. on the nest. I also can't switch the night time one off! Nothing happens for ages but it just might! I'd certainly vote for a seasonal one. I'm surprised it's not been done considering the success of Springwatch. I suppose they'd have to work harder, without the nesting birds, but there's plenty of wildlife to witness all year round.

i'll miss it to ,there is not a lot of british natural history programs on at the minute . roll on autumn watch

[Kymba]

I am going to Miss it to Especially the Urban Fox Diary.. BUT DO NOT Despair only 144 days till Autumn Watch

[Pete W]

I think those Moorhens should be renamed "Moorish Hens" The Mink seemed to love them

I would agree that it is a brilliant program but I did get restless sitting in front of the tv each night. Especially this week with BBC Fours bird week shows straight after.

Saying that I still prefer the real thing, and from watching the show I managed to see 3 tawny owls last weekend in the Forest Of Dean and anothe Juvenile tonight walking the dogs on my local patch. Springwatch is happening all around us!!

Oh, I quite agree - there IS nothing like the real thing - but this comes a close second!!

I too am going to miss Springwatch but will continue to go out and experience nature first hand. But it is good to know there are other likeminded people out there.
