Thats good news and had totally escaped my attention - thanks . I've really enjoyed the past programmes.

Oh good. I managed to miss everyone of the last run, but I should be able to see them all with bbc iplayer now

Thanks very much, Barry - I probably would have missed it! I only noticed the last series was on after I'd missed the first couple of programs.

Many thanks for the heads up Barry.

This is an excellent series of programmes and I did not know that another series was due to start.

I must remember to set the video for 6.30 p.m. each evening as I am rarely home by that time.

I watched that last night and thought it was really good. That woman on it does surely have the best bird table in the world!! So is it on every night????

[pressld2]

Rats! Missed this thread on Sunday and missed last night's opening episode too

But, on the bright side, nine more episodes to look forward to!

It's on every night this week and next, 6:30pm on Beeb 2.

OK cheers for that. If you have telewest or virgin media have look and see if it is on catch up tv, then you will be able to watch last nights one.

Thanks again for the 'heads up' Barry. The third section of tonights episode was at the Ashridge Estate which is in my 'patch' - in fact I'm probably going walking there on Saturday. So I'd have been really annoyed if I'd missed it.

Apart from the Fallow deer they showed (no, I'm afraid I've not yet got up ridiculously early to go on the Deer walk) there are also a lot of Muntjac in the woods there. The estate covers a large area (there's an Ashridge Estate Boundary Trail which is sixteen miles long!), mainly woods, especially beech woods. Its great for walking, and you stand a fair chance of seeing some deer at any time (I think there's 800 Fallow deer there). Not far from Ashridge House (now a business school, I think) there is a large open enclosure in the middle of the woods (where they filmed the bucks fighting either side of a fence, I think) and you can occasionally see a large group of deer there (I have twice seen 80+ there). There is also a field beside the main road through the estate where you very often can see smaller groups of deer.
