Nice to see 'Ratty' the Water vole on 'SpringWatch Live' and iPlayer today, in Hannah Stitfalls interview with Steve Backshall... Makes a change from badgers...

Series of two from last night's Springwatch. I nearly fell off the sofa last night when this clip came on. I thought, I recognise those cliffs! Springwatch had said they may use some of my videos but did not tell me what, where or when, it could have been on Facebook, YouTube or the programme. Only the opening sequence of the cliffs is mine (Splash Point at Seaford).

After seeing the cute Treecreepers on Winterwatch, I thought I'd better upload a couple of shots of our local ones :-)

While I waited for the Barn Owls which never show this turned up and landed on the gate just as the sun was setting.

Sure sign summer has arrived.

Blackbird

We've been watching Springwatch on BBC so when I spotted this young blackbird doing a bit of sunbathing I thought I'd grab a photo.

Unfortunately the result isn't as sharp as I'd like so I probably should leave wildlife photography to the experts.

At Fowlsheugh on Monday.

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 :)
