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).

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.....

The best image from my latest camera trap project. I was very pleased to have this image chosen to feature on the "Helping Wildlife" page of the 2024 BBC Springwatch website.

You can watch a video on how I got the image on my You Tube Channel here: youtu.be/-ubtszM5cG0

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
