Countryfile is a far better programme in my opinion as all its time is spent on the main subject 'country life' without all the hilarity we have now to put up with on Autumnwatch.

Countryfile is about the countrylife.Autumnwatch/Springwatch is about wildlife.Big difference

Dan, I could't agree more mate. I'm new here and also a bit surprised by some of the 'aggressive' responses and attitudes. I've met some lovely people on here but there are others that I wouldn't want to meet down a dark alley on a winters night  Have to say too, Simon's lounge was lovely wasn't it? The guy with the long hair is begining to grow on me now and I'd rather watch this program all year round than watch one more minute of Simongate and Jedward!!! Dan, stick around mate, we need all the nice people we can get - Wizzo |

Dave & Earthdragon, hiya. At one time, here in Bristol, Osprey were rarely spotted on Blagdon and Chew Valley lakes. They would be spotted by some lucky spotters or Trout fishermen, as the bird or birds (assuming a pair) would stay in the area for a while, on their way to somewhere else, presumably Africa. Now they build platforms for the Osprey on both lakes. I'm told that they are resident now, but would that still mean they travel to Africa for the winter? As a fairly novice birdwatcher, I count myself extremely lucky to have seen one of these magnificant birds whilst walking my dogs. Phew, breathtaking  |

John. D, you said it all mate, "Without all the hilarity we have now to put up with". Thing is....you don't have to. Just give that 'off button' a poke.

Unsprung is particularly enjoyable. I could watch plenty more of them. |

Great post Dan.
What's with the age limits of thirty-something on fancying Chris Packham, though?  I liked Simon's living room too, lovely taste, though that fire would be a nightmare with small children around.
If parrots can use language accurately in context (much evidence that they can for example, the other day I heard a parrot in the local pet shop telling the cockatoo pecking him to "stop it!") I'm almost positive that sparrowhawks have the nous to drown birds.
It was such an enjoyable prog on Friday and now it's all ending, c'est la vie. |

If you google Alex the parrot = there are a number of Youtube vidoes showing this famous parrot identifying shapes etc. He seemed to know what he was doing! |

None of the men on Autumnwatch are attractive. It's not fair. Simon's living room was nice though |

I really enjoyed the series from start to finish. Loved seeing the rooks again last night - they we're number 29 in Nature's Top 40. I'm hoping to get there and see them for myself sometime this winter.

Never mind the men! Where's all the attractive women on TV. We have to put up with the likes of Kate Price, Kerry Katona the 'wanna be young again' men haters on Loose Women, to name but a few  Whoops, sorry! - Was I ranting lol? You women have it easy!! |
