Springwatch 2014

[LIZS]

Anyone watching the bluetits ?

missed it!

Oh I'd turned it off! Did they show a recording of it?

yes , hopefully they will show it again later.

I'll leave it on for now then, I turned it off before because the PIP of the empty nest was rubbing salt in my disappointment.

I know :( Was lucky to catch it online just now. The FB page and website are so rarely updated as to be unhelpful .

Here they go. :)

If anyone else missed it they'll be showing it again at 10am. :)

Saw it at 10. So sweet

It's all gone quiet. Is this an appropriate time to suggest a game of snog, marry, avoid (Chris, Martin, Iolo)?

Snog : Chris - good looking fella, passionate.

Marry: Iolo - GSOH, nice soothing voice.

Avoid: Martin - sorry Martin, reminds me too much of an excitable puppy!

Ha kinkytoes, not my kind of game. :) I've got a soft spot for anyone that looks after wildlife though.

I see one of the reed warbler eggs has hatched, that little chick looks so scrawny and helpless, poor thing.

A second one is out and it looks like number 3 is wobbling about so won't be long hopefully!

Prefer Nick with no beard. Reed warblers hatching v cute but prefer the fluffiness of the goldfinches.

I like fluffy too but these are sweet in the way they seem to be putting wings around each other to snuggle up.

another 1 ! 1 egg to go .

This is so addictive this year and Chris very funny trying to "mate " with Michaela hilarious!

Goldfinch nest is looking a bit rank now ! Love Grub the owl .

did anyone catch the nightingales fledging ?

Woodpecker mum trying to coax second chick out ! No sign of Grub though :(

I've missed a lot over the past few days but there is a snake in the goldfinch nest! I wonder if all that poo helped it smell it out.

yes that was a bit of drama !

Last bullfinch just about the fledge. Lots happening this weekend! Monday's show will be packed.

The little reed warbler chicks are just starting to open their eyes a little bit and they way they keep opening and closing their beaks as they rest looks like they are snoring. So cute!

Ooh, bumble bee cam!

still watching the goldfinch . Love his cute Mohican and hoping he makes it to fledging !

I love the bees but I'm being distracted by my own back garden where a daddy robin is being chased by his two hungry and noisy fledglings.
