Bit of a Raptors theme this evening...

I was thrilled to have been contacted by the BBC Springwatch team this year, informing me that one of my images would be used across social media and presenter cards. For those who know the UK, Springwatch is a somewhat of an institution for nature lovers, and captivates the nation over a short 3-week period each year. Here's one of the presenters with a rather nice card backer :)

Thrilled to have one of my images featured across the BBC Springwatch social media platforms over the festive period.

I always get a warm fuzzy feeling when Springwatch uses one of my pics :-)

(Edit: still available as below but now also on iPlayer www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p08fgr1j - the timings are different as they've edited out a few minutes of filler before the the live stream starts. Beaver at 05:55, Graham's water vole macro (!) at 08:25.)

To see the segment, go to www.facebook.com/BBCSpringwatch/videos/677683076140900/ and watch from 11 mins 40 secs. Then go to 14 mins 20 secs for one of Graham's! (Or just watch all of it of course.)

Silverlinings are getting to watch my localpatch waking up.....

There were actually four chicks, one is underneath the wings at the back. Taken in Darsham, Suffolk.

Another attempt to build here which we are fighting again to save the few last remaining dark spaces and quiet green habitat for our little friends and all flora and fauna under so much threat now. Please see our website River Crane Sanctuary for more information and if you can help us do get in contact.

Thank you

Thanks Steve for the heads-up on this.

I don't do twitter, so I had no idea they had used it, so this was a pleasant surprise. That's five years in a row now they've been using my badger videos and pictures. :@)

Can't believe they picked the one with the world's most inconsiderate and irritating woodpecker sounding off all the way through in the background LOL.
