Springwatch

[Skywatcher]

Great to see it back - adored it last year when they went after the Scottish wildcat and I thought the new team did really well last night , inpressed by the guy who has come out from behind the camera thought he was good value.

As a reult of this programme I buy my own weight in birdseed each month :lol:

Anyone else watching?

[Skywatcher]

Its a live programme in the Uk on every night for 3 weeks or so following everything that happens in Spring they have live cameras on bird nests etc and its about all the wildlife in Britain and its surrounding shores waking up after Winter

It was reported that Bill was suffering from depression and decided not to take part in Spring watch this year.


My youngest has decided we need a baby badger as a pet now. lol:unsure:

[Skywatcher]

Yep poor old Bill is not very well at the moment poor chap but chris is doing a good job in his place. I want a baby badger as well. Maybe we'll unblock that hole under the fence

Oh wow!!!!!! That's awesome!!!! Can you get photos as they're so close?

[Skywatcher]

Bit too dark I'm afraid , don't want to scare them off with flashes

[Tink]

The site tells me that the videos are not available outside the UK. :( Phooey!

what about a very high iso and shooting in raw - you could try sorting the exposure in dpp:unsure:

[Skywatcher]

Difficult as 1 the longer exposures do blurr a lot as we wouldn't be able to use a flash and 2 shooting through double glazing is not good - but I will have a go

Thats a shame - its such a treat to watch this every night I am always sad when it ends


Bought some insect and suet pellets last night - the baby birds love 'em
