Wild Isles

I must say I did enjoy those silent mindful moments that we witnessed on the winter watch programmes. 👍

Well the first episode didn't disappoint, did it? Orcas, gannets and how brave was that little puffin? Magnificent TV! 

Absolutely agree. 
And the barnacle geese sequence was really spectacular. 
Enjoyed every minute. 🙂.

Well that lived up to all the hype! Truly fantastic and a prophetic warning for all of us. So much damage already done!
Now looking forward to the rest of the series. Apparently the sixth episode will only be available on iplayer for reasons beyond my ken and that of many others, a must view by all accounts!

I thought the dormice sequence was exquisite, I hardly dare breathe worried the Owl would see mama Dormouse👍🏻😊

Some superb photography and showing nature in its harsh light. Perhaps too much propaganda about what is an evolving landscape. Neverthe less one of the best wildlife programme put out by the BBC. Such an improvement from Countryfile and the Watch canned programmes and presenters. 

Hopefully these programmes will wake folk up to the real truth about our ‘evolving’ landscape!

‘A YouGov poll commissioned for the new campaign found that 76% of people are worried about the condition of nature in the UK.

Just 5% of people rated the UK as one of the worst countries for protecting nature, while 55% said they thought the UK was doing as well as the rest of the world or better.

The truth is the UK is in the bottom 10% of countries globally for protecting nature, according to the Living Planet Index produced by the Natural History Museum.’

What a dreadful state of affairs. Whole article below.

Allowing the escape of pollutants & sewage into hitherto pristine environments like chalk streams is a crime & should be prosecuted as such without fear or favour. The destruction of wildlife & its habitats should be stopped & the ‘money first’ lobby should be fined massively & its destructors jailed to help them focus on their morals or lack thereof.

The GB population needs to become more aware of what political decisions, by all parties, are being taken in their names. A great deal of our wildlife, environmental and animal cruelty legislation either isn’t working, or is being watered down in the name of profit and ensuring that the rich get richer and can avoid prosecution. That’s why people like DA and others speaking out is important. Your average Brit either doesn’t really have a clue, or has other priorities and the blinkers stay on. 

Sadly, Ttda, the only way the " General Public " will come aware of whats going on around them is if the Tax Man  starts mugging them on the Market Square with a handfull of cronies bearing 12 bore shotguns and leg--irons for the Reluctant Payers to wear.

Travelling into Crewe t'other day a Local Councillor started spouting about the work they were doing in readiness for the WONDERFUL HS2 and the help it will bring to this knackered old Victorian town.  A couple of days later even the Nation TV companies said  " Don't Hold Yer Breath "

Even now they are telling us that we will need PHOTOGRAPHIC IDENTIFICATION just to put a tiny X on a ballot paper, !! 

Brian Knows we are supporting Ukraine etc etc but was not aware that we are trying to fight off Communist methods as well
