Should be good for the wildlife. All those caravans, noisy generators, artificial lights day and night. Already some animal casualties, run over by the gas guzling 4  x 4's.All that so some so called celebrities can read an auto cue as if though  it was proper live. Most of the filming already canned. But there you go most people learn about nature from these sanitised TV programmes.

Hopefully the rspb will keep everything under strict control, especially the extra visitors it might attract. 

@Fisherman. Its raining here as well this morning.

 

Many argue it should be toned down and sanitised as if often shows images of the likes of predators on prey and the unsavoury aspects of human influence on wildlife. It reports the good, the bad and the ugly. Some who believe it shows them and their so called ‘country’ ways in a bad light will use every ‘trick’ in the book to discredit or even destroy both the messages and in some cases the messengers. 
I’m sure Iolo and company will do an excellent job of education all regardless of where we reside and provide that much needed reality. I’m an old country lad born and bred and thankfully still learn much from these folk.

Just a few days until SpringWatch returns. (29th May)

So good to hear that Chris has been totally vindicated and the bullies get their comeuppance. Hopefully he can now enjoy peace of mind away and we can enjoy his enthusiasm for wildlife.

With Iolo indisposed it will be wokier than usual. May be some of his pre recorded stuff there whilst the rest read the autocues.

I don’t think with Chris at the helm now having been fully vindicated of those cowardly accusations it will be woke at all. He is at the forefront of restorative practices and rattles a few cages in the process but all in the name of true nature, he tells it as it is, warts and all. Good on him, hope to see more in the new series.

 Why do you say Iolo is indisposed, Fishy,   I've not heard or seen anything about him.

I just know he's a cracking great nature lover / Presenter.
