0:00:04 > 0:00:06# Hello! My name is Mr Bloom
0:00:06 > 0:00:09# And I'd like to come to see you soon
0:00:09 > 0:00:11# I'm out on the road, you see
0:00:11 > 0:00:14# Here and there so that we
0:00:14 > 0:00:16# Can get together and have some fun
0:00:18 > 0:00:21# I'll help you out if there's work to be done
0:00:23 > 0:00:26# So where is it you like to go?
0:00:26 > 0:00:28# Call me up and let me know
0:00:28 > 0:00:31# What is it you like to do?
0:00:31 > 0:00:33# I'll pop along and do it, too
0:00:33 > 0:00:35# Cities, towns or countryside
0:00:35 > 0:00:37# I can travel far and wide
0:00:37 > 0:00:40# I'm all about and everywhere
0:00:40 > 0:00:42# I'm here and there
0:00:42 > 0:00:45# Here and there
0:00:45 > 0:00:47# I'm here and there. #
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Oh, hello there, Tiddlers. How are you tiddling? Ha-ha!
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Mr Bloom here. Now, I like going out and about. Yeah.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09I like going here and there to do lots of fun things
0:01:09 > 0:01:10and find out about new places.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14And I'm wondering, what do you like to do where you live?
0:01:14 > 0:01:17Perhaps, you might like to go swimming with your family.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20Or go to the park with your friends.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Oh, looks like someone's got in touch. Right!
0:01:23 > 0:01:24Well, let's see who it is.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27- Hello, Mr Bloom. I'm Dylan. - And I'm Eloise.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30BOTH: And we love wildlife!
0:01:32 > 0:01:36We're learning about ospreys at Rutland Water
0:01:36 > 0:01:39with our friend, Harry.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42We're building a nest.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45And we're catching fish.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50Fish is an osprey's favourite food.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55There are loads of things to see and do.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02ALL: Hurray!
0:02:03 > 0:02:07BOTH: Come and visit us, Mr Bloom!
0:02:07 > 0:02:11Eh, well, sounds like a great idea. I'd love to come.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21# Whereabouts will I end up next?
0:02:23 > 0:02:26# Let's put my route-finder to the test
0:02:28 > 0:02:30# It could be a beach, a village or a city
0:02:30 > 0:02:33# Museum or a school, a garden so pretty
0:02:33 > 0:02:35# A church or station, a river or town
0:02:35 > 0:02:37# I just can't wait till you to show me around
0:02:37 > 0:02:41# Tiddlers, I'm on my way
0:02:41 > 0:02:45# So, where am I today? #
0:02:56 > 0:03:00Hey, you can't beat a day in the countryside, can you?
0:03:00 > 0:03:04I can see why the Tiddlers like to come here. Look at it!
0:03:04 > 0:03:07You got the water, the trees, the wildlife.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Oh, hey, would you look at that.
0:03:15 > 0:03:20Now, unless I'm very much mistaken, this is an osprey.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Oh, it's a magnificent bird, this!
0:03:22 > 0:03:24And if this is here, it must mean
0:03:24 > 0:03:27the Tiddlers are around here somewhere.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30Oh, aye! I think I've spied them.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32It's Dylan, Eloise and Harry.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38- Oh, hello there, Tiddlers! - ALL: Hello, Mr Bloom!
0:03:38 > 0:03:41It's nice to see you. This place is right up my street.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43What do you like to do here, Eloise?
0:03:43 > 0:03:48I like going to a hide and watching the ospreys and all sorts of birds.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50- Oh! Are there lots of birds that live here?- Yeah.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53- Ooh! And who's this here with you? - ALL: Lizzie.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56- Hello there, Lizzie. - Hello, Mr Bloom!
0:03:56 > 0:03:58So, Eloise, what are you making?
0:03:58 > 0:04:01I'm making some bird food for the birds.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04- Really?- Yes! - All right, I'll join in.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Here we go! What do you have to do, Harry?
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Well, you get a pine cone.
0:04:09 > 0:04:14And then we have to fill all the gaps in with fruit and bread.
0:04:14 > 0:04:19Why do you think it's good to feed the birds, Dylan?
0:04:19 > 0:04:24Because when we make them food, they don't have to fly that far.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27And sometimes, there's not much food around.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29When might there not be much food around?
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Is it in the winter?
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Yeah, in the winter time.
0:04:33 > 0:04:38Right, so, we need to fill all the rest of the gaps with lard.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Ahh, I see.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42It feels really squidgy.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Yeah.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46- Super!- Good work!
0:04:46 > 0:04:49We've made some yummy bird feeders for the hungry birds.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51So, what's the next step, Harry?
0:04:51 > 0:04:56We're going to go and hang them up for the birds.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Right then, Tiddlers, we've got a good spot here.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15We've got our bird feeders in the tree.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Let's hope we see some birds.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21You got your eyes wide open? Let me see. Big, wide eyes.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27Hey!
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Mr Bloom, that's a tree sparrow.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33I can see a chaffinch over there.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Hey, and I think that's a young chaffinch
0:05:37 > 0:05:38eating from our bird feeder.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40- Woodpecker there, Mr Bloom.- Where?
0:05:40 > 0:05:43It's just there on the feeder.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47Oh, yeah. There, there! It's poking round.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Aw, Tiddlers, we've seen loads of birds, haven't we?
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Yeah, they've all been eating very well.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02But you know, I was hoping that we would see some ospreys today.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Do you think we'll any ospreys here?
0:06:04 > 0:06:07No, because they only eat fish.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11- Eloise, do you know where we could find some ospreys?- Near the water.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14Come on then. Let's go.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17On our way to meet the ospreys, we spotted lots of other creatures.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22- Look, look, look! - Who's that?- It's a butterfly.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Ahh, it's a meadow brown butterfly.
0:06:25 > 0:06:30Every time we see something, we put a tick on this - I spy sheet.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Well, there's a damselfly.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Hey, Harry, look at this. It's a ladybird.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Here, come on to me, big man.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47Yay! Hey, he flew away! Come back on.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Eh, look - there's the bird hide.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55Wow, you'll get a great view of the ospreys from in there.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Come on. Let's go inside.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Hey, who's this then, Harry?
0:07:01 > 0:07:03It's Tim. He works here.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06- Hello there, Tim.- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08You got a great place to work here.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12It's a great place to work, isn't it? Look at that fantastic view!
0:07:12 > 0:07:14We've got the osprey nest over there.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17I bet you get to learn a lot about those birds, then?
0:07:17 > 0:07:20They're here all summer. We get a fantastic summer
0:07:20 > 0:07:21watching ospreys every day.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24And we've got more and more young ospreys
0:07:24 > 0:07:26coming back to nest at Rutland Water.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28- Oh, excuse me. - RING-RING
0:07:28 > 0:07:32What's this? Ah, look. The route-finder is showing us Tim.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34What are you up to there, Tim?
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Something really important.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39We're fitting the osprey chicks with rings on their legs.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42So, once they've gone away from Rutland Water,
0:07:42 > 0:07:44if they come back, we'll know who's who.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47- Hey! Wow! Do you know where these ospreys go?- Africa.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Why do they go to Africa?
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Because it's nice and warm there. And if they stayed here,
0:07:52 > 0:07:54they'd get really cold.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57I see. I'm with you. Yeah, because it gets cold in winter
0:07:57 > 0:08:00and they want to be where it's nice and warm.
0:08:00 > 0:08:06And look. I think the route-finder is going to show us their journey.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09The ospreys start here in Great Britain.
0:08:09 > 0:08:14They fly 3,000 miles to countries in Africa and it takes them
0:08:14 > 0:08:16three weeks to get there.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19When they arrive, the ospreys are really hungry.
0:08:19 > 0:08:24So, they set about catching their favourite food.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28Can you remember what it is the ospreys like to eat?
0:08:28 > 0:08:32That's right! The ospreys love to eat FISH!
0:08:32 > 0:08:36Luckily, there are lots and lots of fish here in Africa.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40So many that the ospreys don't mind sharing with other birds.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43The ospreys stay in Africa all through the winter.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47But when it's spring again, it's time for some of them
0:08:47 > 0:08:50to fly back to Rutland Water.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58Hey, Tiddlers, that is a fantastic journey that those ospreys go on.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01- What do you think?- ALL: YES!- Yeah!
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Imagine it - you're soaring up high above the clouds.
0:09:04 > 0:09:05You can see all around.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08I'm wondering, Tiddlers, if you're going to Africa,
0:09:08 > 0:09:11it's a long way to come back to Rutland, isn't it?
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Why do you think the birds keep coming back here?
0:09:14 > 0:09:16So, they can lay their eggs.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Really, lay their eggs? Is that right, Tim?
0:09:18 > 0:09:22That's absolutely right. They come here and lay their eggs.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25We've got a special camera that gives us a view into the nest.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29We can look back at exactly what's happened at the ospreys' nest
0:09:29 > 0:09:31since they arrived back from Africa.
0:09:31 > 0:09:35Ah, look, Tiddlers. They've laid some brown, speckled eggs.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38- And now, it's hatching!- Wow! What can you see there, Eloise?
0:09:38 > 0:09:42- What's he doing?- He's eating a fish. - Oh, a fish!
0:09:42 > 0:09:44I think he's enjoying it.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49And they're growing really quickly.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52- They're fully grown now. - They're getting ready to fly.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56Wow! Well, they've certainly grown, haven't they, Tiddlers?
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Look at the size of them now!
0:09:58 > 0:10:01It's amazing, isn't it? And you know what?
0:10:01 > 0:10:03We have a team of volunteers, 150 people,
0:10:03 > 0:10:06who watch these ospreys every day.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09And it means we can learn an amazing amount of information
0:10:09 > 0:10:11about their lives all through the summer.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15So, why don't you become osprey volunteers for the day?
0:10:15 > 0:10:16What do you think?
0:10:16 > 0:10:18ALL: YEAH!
0:10:18 > 0:10:19Let's do it!
0:10:30 > 0:10:34- Oh, one's just gone off! - Yeah, I saw that from the nest!
0:10:34 > 0:10:37- One's just gone off!- There! - There it goes.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39Yeah, can you see it with your binoculars?
0:10:39 > 0:10:43- Oh, it's coming this way! - Yes, it's coming back.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46What have you got, Harry? Is anything going on?
0:10:46 > 0:10:50The daddy bird is just flying in with some fish.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53Brilliant. And what's it doing with the fish?
0:10:53 > 0:10:57- Looks like it's eating the fish in the nest.- Yeah, he's eating it.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00OK, I'll make a note of that.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06There's someone out there. Look! He's having a bath.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09Having a bird bath. Ooo!
0:11:14 > 0:11:17Can you see where the other osprey is?
0:11:17 > 0:11:19I saw it flying around some trees.
0:11:21 > 0:11:26Oh, yeah. That's right! Hey, you make a good osprey volunteer, you.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35So, Tim, did we make good osprey volunteers?
0:11:35 > 0:11:38You know what, you are some of the best osprey volunteers
0:11:38 > 0:11:39we've ever had.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42- Woo! What do you reckon of that? - ALL: YEAH!
0:11:42 > 0:11:44And what's been your favourite thing today?
0:11:44 > 0:11:46Going to look for some animals.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49We found some, didn't we? And how about you, Eloise?
0:11:49 > 0:11:51Going into the hide.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Yeah, we could see the birds but they couldn't see us.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56I can really see why you love where you live.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58So, a big thank you for inviting me along.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02But, it's time I hit the road. You join me soon when I'll be...
0:12:02 > 0:12:07- HERE AND THERE!- That's right! Bye-bye!- ALL: BYE!
0:12:07 > 0:12:09# Where is it you like to go?
0:12:09 > 0:12:12# Call me up and let me know
0:12:12 > 0:12:14# What is it you like to do?
0:12:14 > 0:12:17# I'll pop along and do it, too
0:12:17 > 0:12:19# Cities, towns, the countryside
0:12:19 > 0:12:21# I can travel far and wide
0:12:21 > 0:12:23# I'm all about and everywhere
0:12:23 > 0:12:25# I'm here and there. #
