What a lovely programme, his pond looked great. He had me in stitches again when he touched the electric fence, and the Dr who mask My sides were aching so much.

[Stewy]

Well, I have to say what an excellent series and lets hope that the fella is back on our screens soon.

Now where's that POND....................

[deer boy]

Great series great guy can't wait for another series.I know what dvd i'll be ordering at the weekend By the way folks his new book about bambi is out soon.

[witham]

I agree what a great end to the series, I must admit his pond has turned out much better than I though it would, I did wonder if he had edited some of the commentary after perhaps reading some of our comments in here as its always 'our laaaand' now, I laughed when he got 'stung' by the electric fence having been there done that, but I thought his riveting talk re Stag rutting mating etc perhaps went a bit over the young kids heads and I could just imagine their parents having to explain to them all about it when they got home or better still the shooshes in the middle of the supermarket where they often remember the most embarrasing things I can't wait until the next series or indeed the dvd when it comes out

Lovely watching the footage on the baby Badgers and their release, was it somewhere in Wales?
Lets hope he keeps track of them and the lady who hand reared them didn't do so in vain.
I loved the bit when he chatted to the children, I imagine they will never forget his visit with his antlers.

They have just started a Badger cull in Wales I hope they will be safe.

I watched the repeat of his Country Diary on Horse and Country last night and was as appauled as he was at what someone had done to the mature Beech hedge down the country road, cut it down to practically ground level, they don't recover as quickly as Hawthorn and would be a great loss to the wildlife for perhaps many years, that's if it was going to be allowed to regrow, it would be interesting to see what's there now

Johnny has a two page article in the Daily Mail Weekend Magazine that comes with Saturdays paper, it's called 'The Three Legged Bambi who Broke my Heart' and it includes extracts from his new book Bambi and Me, it looks like a very interesting but moving read especially for people who have experienced similar high and low emotions that are unavoidable when you keep any animal, I have ordered a copy along with a big box of tissues

[deer boy]

Got the book & it's fab

[shei111]

Yes deerboy ive also got it and a good read too. sheila

[witham]

My book 'Bambi and Me' has come and it really is a great read, I can throughly recommend it, very moving though, I'm only on chapter 4 as I haven't had much time with the bank holiday etc but it's well worth the money

[witham]

I forgot to say yesterday, when you read any of his books do you find you're sometimes reading it in his accent if you see what I mean or am I the only one who finds herself doing it, I'm on chapter 8 now

I went to the same place he took that photo to try & get some pics myself & when i left i heard a noise up a tree,i looked & it was a Fox needless to say it saw me & ran

[GME]

Never seen a Fox up a tree before! I miss Johnny though - his website and Springwatch will have to quell the withdrawal symptoms for now

[witham]

I've just been on his updated web site, he's got some great photos and I was very pleased to see some pictures of the Badgers on his land and that they have a cub or cubs I bet he 's over the moon

[deer boy]

I've just been on johnny's cameraman's website & there's some great pics his name is Rupert Smith
