Re: Heads up........BBC2 8.00pm

No I also loved the woodmice sooooooo cute and a lovely little story they should do something like that more! and I loved the interruption of simon's flow when he was talking about the Otters obviously some producer shouting PAD PAD - keep talking!!! We've got nothing down here nothing at all and ten minutes to go!!!!

And do you reckon the camera men were going to buy him a pint for how many times he mentioned them?!!

The seals faces looked so much like dogs and they seemed to play like dogs would (well if dogs had no legs and lived in the water.... - you know what I mean I hope!!!!)

Re: Heads up........BBC2 8.00pm

Especially for you Gill, a couple of cuties photographed on skokholm last season.
I agree about how dog like they are, and the ahhhhh factor is huge.
(I'm going to dip into my camera fund and buy a potable TV before next week, who needs a 5D anyway)

Oh no not you as well !!! I've done work around there and yet again my colleague saw one and not me!!! I'm jinxed!!!
I'll sort it out sooner or later and purposfully track them donw!!! It's always better to accidentally come across these things though the excitement factor is greater I think.

Re: Heads up........BBC2 8.00pm

Tonights favourite bit for me was the bats and the pied flycatcher. Didn't realise they would use a nest box like that.
Hopefully, I'll be able to observe a bat survey soon with the bat group I have joined.

Hubby has the telly now, much to his relief.....England v Hungary game. 2-1 at the mo. ww

Re: Heads up........BBC2 8.00pm

I'm glad I didn't miss it because Bill Oddie is a hero of mine and although he wasn't bourn in Hampstead he has lived there for a long time and he loves Hampstead Heath as mudh as I do and to night he showed every one what he called his patch( HAmpstead Heath )as he lives there.
Yes I like the Pied Fly Catcher too.
Bill Oddie is just great
