:00:18. > :00:32.Thank you very much. The most exuberant applause we have had all
:00:33. > :00:37.week. We are not lied tonight. We are honest on Unsprung. We recorded
:00:38. > :00:43.this on Thursday night for you to enjoy on Friday. We are still at the
:00:44. > :00:49.RSPB Minsmere with a great audience. What have we been up to this week?
:00:50. > :00:54.The reserve is full of life. Filled with our cameras. We have been
:00:55. > :01:05.unpacking all the things we have seen, analysing the behaviour and
:01:06. > :01:12.the beauty. Have a look at this. It was really chilly. Wet, and
:01:13. > :01:25.called, and wind. You won't want to miss Springwatch.
:01:26. > :01:29.This spring looks like it won't disappoint, look at that, hundreds
:01:30. > :01:31.of thousands of sea birds gathering here from all over the world, in
:01:32. > :01:46.order to breed. Larry Lamb.
:01:47. > :01:50.Maggie. Mr Clive Anderson. I've never been
:01:51. > :01:58.close to a starving before but these are rather nice.
:01:59. > :02:05.It is good, isn't it? APPLAUSE.
:02:06. > :02:09.We have a couple of celebrities and stars but the prize goes to the
:02:10. > :02:15.starling. Tonight we have some really good guests. The first is a
:02:16. > :02:20.suave, sophisticated polymath who started off wanting to be a wildlife
:02:21. > :02:25.cameraman, then a vet. He tried as an engineer but ended up in the
:02:26. > :02:26.fashion business. You know him from The Great British Sewing
:02:27. > :02:37.Bee, Patrick Grant! It is a pleasure to be here in this
:02:38. > :02:40.beautiful place. And the best audience, we like
:02:41. > :02:44.rowdy. Our next guests are celebrating BBC
:02:45. > :02:51.Music Day, they are twice winners of the Folk Band Of The Year, 2015 and
:02:52. > :03:00.2016, The Young'uns. APPLAUSE.
:03:01. > :03:06.We will be hearing from you in a moment.
:03:07. > :03:10.Lindsey, there we are. What a week, Chile. It has been
:03:11. > :03:16.really cold, half the country is basking in the sunny weather at 21,
:03:17. > :03:22.but it has been freezing here. We drew the short straw. Loads of
:03:23. > :03:29.you have got in touch. Please keep comments, videos and photos coming.
:03:30. > :03:37.We can't get back to you on air, we are online, go to our website, all
:03:38. > :03:40.the links are on there. We will be in touch over the weekend.
:03:41. > :03:45.We have had so much in. The Unsprung team has gone through
:03:46. > :03:50.it all. This is a personal favourite.
:03:51. > :03:55.That is pretty good, I like the symmetry. This guillemot has those
:03:56. > :04:01.eye markings which only a percentage have, making it all together more
:04:02. > :04:07.striking, almost artificial. Mike McKenzie last night gave us
:04:08. > :04:14.that amazing picture of the mouse. Both really good pictures. At the
:04:15. > :04:16.top of the leader Bert -- leaderboard.
:04:17. > :04:23.Sorry about this if you are eating your tea.
:04:24. > :04:29.A fascinating piece of behaviour. Slightly worried about that piece of
:04:30. > :04:34.glass behind it! Finally, this comes with a question,
:04:35. > :04:40.this toad, sent in by Christine Kerr, she says it has different
:04:41. > :04:53.coloured eyes, is that common? It is not common at -- in any
:04:54. > :04:57.animal. It does occur in humans. David Bowie, we sadly lost him he
:04:58. > :05:05.had different coloured eyes. My sister also. Back on Tuesday to
:05:06. > :05:10.me you set a challenge on the show, get in touch and draw the stars of
:05:11. > :05:20.the show, loads of people have. Take a look, I have had loads in.
:05:21. > :05:25.Aisling is 12, she has been watching a sparrowhawk in its nest.
:05:26. > :05:30.Unlike the bright yellow eyes, a most striking feature of the bird.
:05:31. > :05:41.This avocet has been sent in by Abbey, thank you for writing our
:05:42. > :05:45.address. Finally, Andrew Edginton, a really
:05:46. > :05:49.special picture committee sketched this from the programme.
:05:50. > :05:55.Lloyd and his starlings. It is very good actually, indeed.
:05:56. > :06:03.A very good drawing but take a look when we compare it to a still from
:06:04. > :06:10.the night we broadcast. It is spot-on. Brilliant. Lloyd can
:06:11. > :06:14.identify which starling it was from Andrew's drawing.
:06:15. > :06:21.Top work, Andrew Edginton. He is 12. Pretty good. Something that has been
:06:22. > :06:29.very popular this week, obviously, the quiz.
:06:30. > :06:31.Time for the quiz. Hello, I am Melanie, this is my
:06:32. > :06:37.quiz. On this skull, you can see these
:06:38. > :06:41.huge and slower routes, then short ones on top.
:06:42. > :06:47.Front on, the eyes are on the side rather than looking at you. This is
:06:48. > :06:54.a prey animal. What do you think this skull is?
:06:55. > :07:00.APPLAUSE. That is hard for tonight. We have
:07:01. > :07:02.had Badger, Sparrow, fox, this is the most difficult. A few might
:07:03. > :07:09.know. Don't shout it out yet. We're not so
:07:10. > :07:12.don't tweet in, just play along at home.
:07:13. > :07:20.Hope you get it right. Patrick, thank you for coming this evening.
:07:21. > :07:25.APPLAUSE. You started with a keen interest in
:07:26. > :07:32.natural as a young lad. As a boy, I spent half my childhood
:07:33. > :07:37.at Edinburgh zoo, I used to go to the Gannet Club, to handle reptiles,
:07:38. > :07:42.learn about the brilliant wildlife. I spent a lot of time there. At one
:07:43. > :07:48.point, my mum thought it was a terrible idea that I would never put
:07:49. > :07:53.an animal down, if I became a debt. It is part of the job, as we know.
:07:54. > :07:59.That didn't work out. I grew up with Attenborough, life on
:08:00. > :08:03.Earth, I spent my childhood reading books on animals, getting out as
:08:04. > :08:08.much as I could. Circuitously, you have ended up in
:08:09. > :08:14.the fashion business, and as a judge on it. On the show, the great
:08:15. > :08:19.British fashion be. These pieces have all to be the size
:08:20. > :08:24.of the pattern. None of the three you have cut are actually the size.
:08:25. > :08:28.I have to restart. This is the back, you want the
:08:29. > :08:31.front. Don't panic.
:08:32. > :08:37.Very hard not to panic. We didn't mean to make you panic.
:08:38. > :08:41.Please go. We will! I have a reputation for being
:08:42. > :08:44.ruthlessly critical when it comes to photography, are you the same with
:08:45. > :08:50.fashion? I am with Sewing Bee. We have a new
:08:51. > :08:56.judge who is worse than I am, now I am the nice one. She is Simon Cowell
:08:57. > :09:01.and I am Louis Walsh. If you watch the week before,
:09:02. > :09:07.children's baby grows, somebody got pretty much everything they could
:09:08. > :09:14.get wrong, wrong. Disastrously wrong. It can go pretty bad.
:09:15. > :09:19.You brought a photo along. Did I? My mum was rooting around, I don't know
:09:20. > :09:25.what you have got. Oh! Can we zoom in here?
:09:26. > :09:33.Yes, you can. So, this... Have you seen this? This is I think a perfect
:09:34. > :09:39.allegory of post modern Britain. The cultural mixing pot. A grey
:09:40. > :09:42.squirrel, North American. A naan bread from the Indian subcontinent.
:09:43. > :09:48.A park in Blackburn built with the money of the industrial Victorian
:09:49. > :09:52.revolution. Everything that is great about
:09:53. > :09:56.Britain's cultural diversity in one shot!
:09:57. > :10:03.You may not agree. An interesting as the nation or a very poor excuse!
:10:04. > :10:07.I was walking back from a factory where I stay in Blackburn. Walking
:10:08. > :10:13.through the park and I saw a squirrel eating a naan bread. There
:10:14. > :10:20.we are. It is unusual, have you seen one before?
:10:21. > :10:26.No. Aside from the park, you like to get into the wild. Someone who is
:10:27. > :10:31.pick a fight with neat but you like going rustic.
:10:32. > :10:37.I do. -- Preoccupied. I like going into
:10:38. > :10:42.the wild where I feel most happy. Work is busy and stressful, London
:10:43. > :10:47.is hectic. I like to get out and walk, to wild camp. To spend time in
:10:48. > :10:53.the wild bits of Britain. It pays off. I have had some very
:10:54. > :11:00.lucky encounters. I was camping wild on the beach, in Paris with my
:11:01. > :11:06.ex-girlfriend. The sun was setting over the water. It is here. Looking
:11:07. > :11:15.out over those mountains, on this bit of sure. We were sitting in a
:11:16. > :11:22.tiny tent that really isn't a two man. The mesh was closed. Two sea
:11:23. > :11:28.otters walked two feet in front. One of the most exhilarating, just being
:11:29. > :11:34.that close to those wild animals going about their business. So
:11:35. > :11:43.enriching, it was great. On that same trip, I was in the water and a
:11:44. > :11:48.giant Finn around. Obviously, it was a basking shark. We watched it, this
:11:49. > :11:56.enormous animal. I might be exaggerating slightly, almost the
:11:57. > :11:58.wit of this studio. A huge animal. You do see so much beautiful nature.
:11:59. > :12:02.When you are quiet and there, you wake up
:12:03. > :12:04.You see them quietly going about their business.
:12:05. > :12:19.Good, it makes you feel good. One habit I have picked up from my
:12:20. > :12:25.sister is critiquing people's fashion tastes. I apply it to birds.
:12:26. > :12:29.When I see a kingfisher, I see it as the Saatchi. Bright, colourful, too
:12:30. > :12:35.colourful. When I see and avocet, I think of
:12:36. > :12:39.50s Chanel, classic lines. I am with you so far.
:12:40. > :12:44.We have some more birds and we would like you to apply a similar
:12:45. > :12:53.approach. Who has the first picture? This is the white crested duck, sent
:12:54. > :13:02.by Diane. Wearing your granny's hat. Have you seen my granny's hat?
:13:03. > :13:06.Bit loopy, it looks like Chris, in the 1980s!
:13:07. > :13:16.Picture number three, brilliant, a hipster bearded tip, looking call.
:13:17. > :13:21.And, number four, a black throated diver, working the stripes.
:13:22. > :13:27.Splendid. On the end, two roughs looking stately.
:13:28. > :13:35.Elizabethan almost. Back Black adder era.
:13:36. > :13:42.Not on the high street today? Shoes, silk hose, he is magnificent.
:13:43. > :13:51.What am I supposed to be doing here? Would you go out dressed like that?
:13:52. > :13:55.I think I would. That is spats, crisply starched shirt front,
:13:56. > :14:04.evening wear at its finest. Tea at the Ritz.
:14:05. > :14:09.Here. This hoopoe. Not my cup of tea. A bit
:14:10. > :14:14.extravagant. There is a certain showy kind of manly pride about his
:14:15. > :14:20.parents -- his appearance. That is for the younger man.
:14:21. > :14:27.For those of us in our 40s, we can look back fondly.
:14:28. > :14:37.Of all of the birds that we have seen which is the top of the fashion
:14:38. > :14:42.pops? Black throated diver, the height of sophistication. Let's hear
:14:43. > :14:52.it for the fashionable birds. APPLAUSE
:14:53. > :14:55.Every guest comes for a challenge. They get sent out with artists
:14:56. > :15:02.materials and they have to capture what they say. It could be a
:15:03. > :15:06.landscape or it could be a species. I hated this challenge. I feel
:15:07. > :15:11.enormous sympathy for the people on Great British Sewing Bee. I'm not
:15:12. > :15:18.very happy with it. Twist that around so we can see it. You're not
:15:19. > :15:25.happy with it? Ten minutes. With longer it'd be fine. APPLAUSE
:15:26. > :15:30.Another three minutes and I'd probably be happy. If we all had
:15:31. > :15:39.another three minutes, life would be different. It's my duty to mark you
:15:40. > :15:45.on this. We have our leaderboard, or lose aboard. In our drawn to be wild
:15:46. > :15:49.contest. This is the most accomplished drawing we have had so
:15:50. > :15:58.far, no doubt about that. We are still being topped by Jason Singh's
:15:59. > :16:02.effort here. I'll go here for the draughtsmanship with the robin.
:16:03. > :16:10.Patrick's in second place here. Happy with that.
:16:11. > :16:14.It's time for our last Hide Share of the week,
:16:15. > :16:16.our feature where Chris meets a well-known face in a birdwatching
:16:17. > :16:23.And, today, he is faced with a real-life Dragon.
:16:24. > :16:31.Hello. I've got a modest wad here. I'm going to set you a challenge
:16:32. > :16:38.before we start bird-watching. You need to come up with an idea that I
:16:39. > :16:44.can buy into or not. In terms of UK conservation. OK. Conversation. How
:16:45. > :16:54.about we give a bit more land to the struggling wildlife? I'll give you a
:16:55. > :16:59.couple for that. Just a couple? It's just a start. We got those tufted
:17:00. > :17:05.ducks. The male on the left is easy to identify because they have got a
:17:06. > :17:10.black backside. In ducks, it's important that the males are
:17:11. > :17:15.brightly coloured. The females sit on the eggs and are stuck there for
:17:16. > :17:21.a month at least. They want to be as camouflaged as possible. You are
:17:22. > :17:30.into wildlife. You are patron of WWF. Where do these is come from? No
:17:31. > :17:36.idea. My parents are lovely people but they're not into animals. I have
:17:37. > :17:40.loved them from an early age. As a child, I had a snail hospital. It
:17:41. > :17:50.was the only creature I could interact with. Was it successful? Or
:17:51. > :17:56.did it suffer cutbacks? Stop it! Was there always a waiting list. They
:17:57. > :17:59.didn't get the service they require. To be fair, I was taking healthy
:18:00. > :18:07.snails and putting them under a plank and calling it a hospital.
:18:08. > :18:18.There is a tern looking for fish. What about that? I'm going to pitch
:18:19. > :18:31.an idea for you. The money is back to you. ?200 of that is mine. What
:18:32. > :18:36.about roadkill bingo? Right? For the kids in the back of the car. Driving
:18:37. > :18:41.along, they have a card and on it are a number of things which
:18:42. > :18:46.unfortunately we see dead on the side of the road. We are noting the
:18:47. > :18:51.route we are taking and they post it off to a central base where we
:18:52. > :18:55.analyse the amount of road casualties on different networks
:18:56. > :19:01.across the UK. I genuinely think that is a brilliant idea. Visit
:19:02. > :19:15.another thing I'm going to have to do? Black headed
:19:16. > :19:23.gull. They disturb the mud with their feet to disturb any
:19:24. > :19:28.invertebrates in there. There are parts of the UK that are not in
:19:29. > :19:33.marked as valuable land in terms of money but they could be in terms of
:19:34. > :19:38.diversity and sustainability. On the basis of the fact that you are going
:19:39. > :19:44.to I a pitch of derelict land, I'm going to give you my money. I'm in.
:19:45. > :19:55.I've made my investment. I know it is in safe hands.
:19:56. > :20:04.You know what I'm going to say. Roadkill bingo. My life as an
:20:05. > :20:07.entrepreneur was about to take off. But, like all good ideas,
:20:08. > :20:20.it has been done before. Who has heard of roadkill bingo? It
:20:21. > :20:23.is a citizen science project at the University of Cardiff. They collate
:20:24. > :20:27.the information and build a map that will hopefully allow us to see where
:20:28. > :20:29.roadkill is happening the most and allows to do something about it.
:20:30. > :20:33.Totally deflated. Project Splatter at Cardiff
:20:34. > :20:48.University. It doesn't have the same ring to it.
:20:49. > :20:50.But I accept that it wasn't quite an original idea.
:20:51. > :21:06.You are a folk band who have drawn lots of influence and inspiration
:21:07. > :21:15.from birdlife in the First World War. We have also drawn inspiration
:21:16. > :21:20.from a band called roadkill bingo! We've been looking at fantastic to
:21:21. > :21:27.stories about soldiers who took pets and mascots to the First World War.
:21:28. > :21:32.We wrote a song with some kids about a dog from Middlesbrough who was
:21:33. > :21:36.taken to war by seven Brothers, day Wallace brothers. Each of those
:21:37. > :21:48.brothers who had the dog came home safely. There was a book called
:21:49. > :21:53.Tommy's Arc. An anthology of fantastic real stories. Beautiful
:21:54. > :21:59.heartfelt diary entries from soldiers describing in heartbreaking
:22:00. > :22:04.detail how nature could survive the brutality of the First World War.
:22:05. > :22:09.I've got one of the diary entries here. I'm going to read a fuse
:22:10. > :22:11.entrance is. It came from the diary of a private in the First World War,
:22:12. > :22:13.written in the trenches. Following the geese came
:22:14. > :22:16.a couple of Lapwing. In a few hours, those same lapwings
:22:17. > :22:22.might be wheeling over I watched them go by in
:22:23. > :22:25.scattered pairs, small All journeying in
:22:26. > :22:28.the same direction. My thoughts went with them
:22:29. > :22:31.to the level Fens of East Anglia and the north country
:22:32. > :22:33.mosses I know so well. I was watching the flocks passing
:22:34. > :22:37.when the leaving sentry appeared. It seemed scarcely possible those
:22:38. > :22:41.hours had passed. Back once more in the dugout,
:22:42. > :22:45.I dozed off to sleep. My dreams were of English fields,
:22:46. > :23:02.horses at work ploughing, APPLAUSE
:23:03. > :23:07.You can just sensed the yearning to be at home in a place where it was
:23:08. > :23:14.free and peaceful and nature was going about its business. That was a
:23:15. > :23:22.piece that inspired you, wasn't it? It was. From that diary entry, it is
:23:23. > :23:28.such a powerful piece, appropriate for East Anglia where we are at the
:23:29. > :23:35.moment. Yes, very inspired by that. We've got an extract from the song
:23:36. > :23:50.now which we canvass and two. # There came a pair of lapwings.
:23:51. > :24:08.# Flying north towards the sea. # Following the call of spring,
:24:09. > :24:28.# Where my love waits for me. # My love waits for me. #.
:24:29. > :24:34.APPLAUSE A great lament therefore what was a
:24:35. > :24:40.very, very sad thing. Folk band of the year twice in a row. You've been
:24:41. > :24:46.touring, Australia, Canada. And a UK tour this year? Just completed it.
:24:47. > :24:53.We are doing lots of festivals this year. It's great to be back in
:24:54. > :25:04.Suffolk. We love Suffolk. There is a great festival here called Folk
:25:05. > :25:07.East. We are working with an extraordinary group of young
:25:08. > :25:14.decisions from across the country called the Aubrey Young musicians.
:25:15. > :25:21.Breathing new life into fantastic traditional Suffolk songs. All
:25:22. > :25:25.inspired by one man who was Benjamin Britten's Gardner. When he was
:25:26. > :25:30.writing Peter Grant, his famous folk opera, he needed a folk song so he
:25:31. > :25:34.looked in all the library 's and found one in a book. He should have
:25:35. > :25:42.opened his window and asked his gardener. He didn't know? This man's
:25:43. > :25:48.name was Bob Hart. His life was like a folk song. He ran away to sea and
:25:49. > :25:53.fished out of Lowestoft. He served in the First World War and was at
:25:54. > :26:02.the Somme. He collected songs wherever he went. You're carrying on
:26:03. > :26:09.the tradition. I hope so. Thank you very much for coming. Before we go,
:26:10. > :26:18.I'm just going to bring out your artist impression. What we think of
:26:19. > :26:30.this? APPLAUSE Well, I've got to say. The nice! The
:26:31. > :26:37.shape of the birds have an element of Picasso about them. Small heads,
:26:38. > :26:48.big breasts, concentrating on the feminine, voluptuous breast there.
:26:49. > :26:53.I'm loving it. Top of the charts. Both musically and artistically. It
:26:54. > :27:00.had to hell because there are three of them.
:27:01. > :27:03.And, of course, before we go, we need to wrap up the quiz.
:27:04. > :27:10.Anyone in the audience know what this one was?
:27:11. > :27:24.I know somebody who will know and she is right here in the audience.
:27:25. > :27:31.Let me introduce you to Melanie Wilson thank you so much for your
