:00:14. > :00:18.Hello, and welcome to a stormy looking Wales. It may be stormy
:00:19. > :00:25.outside, but inside our owls are keeping us royally entertained.
:00:25. > :00:30.High above the streets of bath, our peregrines are peering down.
:00:30. > :00:36.will our goldcrest nest cope in the windy weather. You've seen Die Hard,
:00:36. > :00:44.you have avenue seen Love Actually, if you want to see the same amount
:00:44. > :00:54.of action and in the same emotional roller coaster, stay with us, for
:00:54. > :01:07.
:01:07. > :01:12.I know what you're thinking, you're thinking, he oversolid that a
:01:12. > :01:17.little bit. I promise you not. We have a cracking show for you
:01:17. > :01:22.tonight. Coming live from the beautiful reserve in central Wales.
:01:22. > :01:26.To give you geography, we've sent one of our cameramen up the hill,
:01:26. > :01:32.backwards, over there, behind me, you can get this view of us. That's
:01:32. > :01:38.us in the centre, in your studio, in the foreground you can see the
:01:38. > :01:43.moorland in front of him. But as the shot widens, you can see the
:01:43. > :01:48.fabulous habitat that make up the reserve. The estuary, and of course
:01:48. > :01:56.all of the fabulous, rich Oakwood left-hand side. Down there, as we
:01:56. > :02:01.speak, in the shade, there is a spark of fire. Look at that! The
:02:01. > :02:06.red tail, the fire tail, my favourite name for the red tart,
:02:06. > :02:10.fire flirt and this is the male. What a bird. Honestly. They're
:02:10. > :02:17.nesting in one of our nest boxes. They've been busy, bringing the
:02:17. > :02:21.food in on a regular basis, and our young redstarts are doing well
:02:21. > :02:25.indeed. Typical bird of the western Oakwood left-hand side and a
:02:25. > :02:30.migrant that comes back in the summer. The young exercising their
:02:30. > :02:35.wings. This one is having a peep outside. I think at some stage in
:02:35. > :02:39.the future, they might be thinking about going, you know. They do look
:02:39. > :02:45.like they're going to. Do you think they could go today, it is not
:02:45. > :02:49.great weather for them. It is late in the day. Let's go live to the
:02:49. > :02:54.redstarts, still active, and the parents still bringing in food at
:02:54. > :02:59.this time of the night. If you look at the back side of the youngster,
:02:59. > :03:05.in a minute, it might flex, the wings might open and you'll see a
:03:05. > :03:09.flash of orange, that soon, will be jumping out through that hole,
:03:09. > :03:13.ready to ignite the emerald shades of the woodland. You have got to
:03:13. > :03:18.excited today, because we started with a red start haven't you?
:03:18. > :03:25.They're one of my favourite birds. They're neat and I like their alert
:03:25. > :03:29.postture and action. Closely related Robin, it is similar the
:03:29. > :03:33.way they hop about. Chris, I'm going to introduce you to a new
:03:33. > :03:41.nest, and it is not as colourful as the red start but it is a cool nest
:03:41. > :03:47.in the reeds. We haven't seen one of those yet. It is a siege warbler,
:03:47. > :03:52.there it is, it is typically made out of grasses and weeds, bound
:03:52. > :03:56.together with cobwebs. What was that, it caught an insect there. I
:03:56. > :04:01.think so. It is slightly off the ground that nest and five chicks in
:04:01. > :04:05.there, and they're six days old. But let's take a look, we can see
:04:05. > :04:11.the chicks underneath. Remember, this is all live footage we've got
:04:12. > :04:16.at the moment. But let's take a look at footage we've taken earlier.
:04:16. > :04:20.The adults, they are a little bit of a brown job, aren't they? And
:04:20. > :04:25.they're similar to a reed warbler, accept for the silver white stripe
:04:25. > :04:31.over the eye. And they've a speckled body. They're doing very
:04:31. > :04:36.well. 59% increase over the past 20 years, you can see it in the reeds,
:04:36. > :04:41.which is what it will doing, foraging for small insects and
:04:41. > :04:46.spiders to feed its young with. They have a great song, it is a
:04:46. > :04:56.noisy song, it is a ram bring warble, and you can see it do that
:04:56. > :05:01.
:05:01. > :05:07.on the top of a bush. We can play you a little bit of the song now.
:05:07. > :05:14.(tweeting). Quite scratching, I put that in for you. Why is that? We
:05:14. > :05:17.have call it Avian Jazz. Because each male siege warbler, has a
:05:17. > :05:22.collection of phrases it uses but every time it sings it puts them in
:05:22. > :05:27.a different order. So every time you hear, a siege warbler singing
:05:27. > :05:30.you're hearing a song which is absolutely unique. Now that's
:05:30. > :05:38.pretty special. Unfortunately, the racket it makes, certainly isn't,
:05:38. > :05:43.mate you know. Jazz, what about that? Yeah. We have to educate him
:05:44. > :05:51.about jazz music, haven't we. Shall we move on to the owls, our
:05:51. > :05:55.wonderful barn owls. Let us go live now. There they are. Sitting there,
:05:55. > :06:01.looking and they apair to be developing remarkably fast in the
:06:01. > :06:05.last few days, Chris, we oven see, look at that, the one on the far
:06:06. > :06:14.left on the picture, you can see the feathers, every day it seems to
:06:14. > :06:20.change. That's the Big Brother in there, isn't it? I don't think
:06:20. > :06:24.they're growing in terms of their weight as they're appearing to look
:06:24. > :06:29.like adults because the down hair is coming out. Of most of the
:06:29. > :06:34.coverts, it is looking more and more like an adult isn't it? We'll
:06:34. > :06:39.keep an eye on that. Let's have a look at what is going on inside the
:06:39. > :06:42.owl nest. Here they are. This was last night. Wonderful pictures. And
:06:42. > :06:48.the parents were fantastically active last night. We thought they
:06:48. > :06:56.were going for a record-breaking spree of wringing in mice and voles,
:06:56. > :07:06.and a little shrew and our nestwatchers, managed to count 17
:07:06. > :07:13.and then about 2am it began to rain and all prey covering stopped. Why
:07:14. > :07:18.is that? Why did it stop dead? They're using their hearing to find
:07:18. > :07:24.food. When the pitter patter of the rain happens, they find it hard.
:07:25. > :07:31.They don't like flying in the rain. If they caught 17 in the short
:07:31. > :07:35.space of time that's easily keeping the young for the evening. They
:07:35. > :07:41.stash great piles of rodents will. Probably all around the barn and
:07:41. > :07:45.even in the ajaisent buildings, they'll be hiding the prey.
:07:45. > :07:49.adults will take it to the youngsters. If the storm is coming
:07:49. > :07:54.tonight, that will be useful, it won't be a good night tonight.
:07:54. > :07:59.They're large, so they won't miss a night of no food, but I'm ensuring
:07:59. > :08:05.there's plenty there. We haven't had the action of Die Hard or
:08:05. > :08:09.romance of Love Actually, but we had eye Kandy, barn owls, but let's
:08:09. > :08:15.go to the heart of the matter, with Britain's most beautiful, and
:08:15. > :08:20.exciting birds, the fastest animals on earth. Lolo Williams are looking
:08:20. > :08:25.at peregrine falcons in Bath. Welcome to the beautiful city of
:08:25. > :08:28.Bath, where we're hammered by high winds and soaked by torrential rain
:08:28. > :08:34.all day. A few moments ago, it eased up a little bit. So somebody
:08:34. > :08:37.up there, actually likes us. When I woke up this morning and heard the
:08:38. > :08:43.weatherman say that gale force winds will hit the south-west, I
:08:43. > :08:48.thought, no, that's not good for live filming or our peregrine
:08:48. > :08:54.chicks either. Let's go straight up to the nest camera, high up on the
:08:54. > :08:59.church there, and see how they're getting on. Look at that, they're
:08:59. > :09:03.doing fantastically well. Huddled up, where they've been for most of
:09:04. > :09:10.the day. Hiding out of the wind and driving rain too. But the good news
:09:10. > :09:15.is they've actually been fed. The adult bird is perched up there, a
:09:15. > :09:20.terrific hunter, he's brought in at least two pigeons, already today to
:09:20. > :09:25.make sure the youngsters, feeding well. The good news of course is at
:09:25. > :09:30.this age they are able to regulate their own temperature. In that nest,
:09:30. > :09:34.we have one female chick, that's the big one on the right, and one,
:09:34. > :09:38.male chick too. They've five weeks old, so they're looking well, and
:09:38. > :09:45.more like peregrines every day. They're changing all the time. Very
:09:45. > :09:50.little down left on them and they're fantastic birds. We are
:09:50. > :09:55.here to film them fledging, three chicks last year fledged this very
:09:55. > :10:00.date. Maybe this week, they're five or six days later, so they won't
:10:00. > :10:05.fledge until next week, but we have had a few scares. Have a look at
:10:05. > :10:10.this, this was filmed two days ago, thankfully in sunshine. Here they
:10:10. > :10:14.are, exercising their wings, stretching them, flaping furiously,
:10:14. > :10:23.down going everywhere, like confetti, and perched on the edge
:10:23. > :10:27.of the nest box. That's the young male, Dock as he's known, from here,
:10:27. > :10:33.we thought he wouldn't go on the verge, because that's what he can
:10:33. > :10:41.see from up there. They're 100 feet up, 30 metres, if he was to plunge
:10:41. > :10:43.a gust of wind, then he will fall all the way down to the ground.
:10:43. > :10:47.These peregrines, they have problem youngsters, because they have a
:10:47. > :10:52.record of jumping out too soon. They've been recovered from all
:10:52. > :10:56.over the city. One was rovinged, from cricket ground over there. One
:10:56. > :11:00.has been recovered from the river below me. And a couple of years was
:11:00. > :11:04.recovered depr the chimney of the President of the Bath natural
:11:04. > :11:11.history society. If you're going to go down the chimney, that's the
:11:11. > :11:16.probably best one. What do you do if you find a young peregrine,
:11:16. > :11:20.phone the RSPB. We will look what happens to a potential threat to
:11:20. > :11:28.the peregrines when it comes close to the nest. For now it is back up
:11:28. > :11:35.to you from here. That looks precarious. So scary. There's a
:11:35. > :11:38.buzzard looking around, do they think, oh my Lord, I've been
:11:38. > :11:43.frightened. Of course it never happens. All this week, we've been
:11:43. > :11:47.using a camera, that is able to film differenceness temperature, to
:11:47. > :11:53.investigate wildlife in a different way. And boy has it delivered
:11:53. > :12:00.results. Now today, we're going to look at insects. Now, why put a
:12:00. > :12:06.thermal camera on an insect. Before they take off, this is dragonfly,
:12:06. > :12:09.it has to warm up its muscles. It takes a while and you can see the
:12:09. > :12:14.temperature increasing, getting brighter and brighter, and then it
:12:14. > :12:18.is off. That's amazeing to see, and how fast the wings go. Now I think,
:12:18. > :12:25.when we watch a bee doing the same thing, it is more interesting. Have
:12:25. > :12:29.a look at this. Here is a sorry looking bee, wet and clearly cold.
:12:29. > :12:35.Obviously, it is maybe in the morning. Its body temperature's low,
:12:35. > :12:41.it is black. But now, what the bee does is disengage its wings, but
:12:41. > :12:45.fire up its wing muscles. Its muscles are buzzing, but furious
:12:45. > :12:50.activity inside that bee, using oxygen, and look at that
:12:50. > :12:56.temperature, raising up, coming up, and getting up the temperature,
:12:57. > :13:02.nearly ready to go, and now, almost ready, and then, engage the wings
:13:02. > :13:09.and it is off. Before it goes, it does a little poo to get balanced.
:13:09. > :13:14.I love the camera, because it gives you an insight into something you
:13:14. > :13:20.wouldn't normally see in We will use a different camera to reveal
:13:20. > :13:26.more of the wonders here. weather also, affects animals that
:13:26. > :13:35.rely on insects for food, like our bats. Let take a look Lord Attlee
:13:35. > :13:39.our bat live. So oven, we go to the live camera and it is nothing there.
:13:39. > :13:43.We see lots of bats, and what they're doing is moving inside the
:13:43. > :13:47.building, looking for the warmest spots. They leave that area,
:13:47. > :13:53.because they found somewhere warmer. They're active, within the building
:13:53. > :13:57.during the day. Do you know, one of the cameramen, noticed something
:13:57. > :14:03.interesting, which was this. It is a bat, hunting in the day time
:14:03. > :14:09.which is really unusual. We wondered whether it was one of our
:14:09. > :14:17.lesser horseshoe bats, but we weren't sure. We asked a expert and
:14:17. > :14:23.he thought it was too big to be a pipStrel. But it was difficult to
:14:23. > :14:29.identify. What is clear, it is not good to see a bat hunting in the
:14:29. > :14:35.day. They're very vulnerable to predays. They will be hit by
:14:35. > :14:39.sparrowhawks, all sorts of birds, so why is it out in the day? The
:14:39. > :14:44.only solution, is in this bad weather with the rain and cold,
:14:44. > :14:51.there aren't enough insect out when they hunt at night. On Friday, when
:14:52. > :14:56.it was filmed, it was very cold, so they probably stayeded, when it
:14:56. > :15:00.warmed out, the critical temperature is seven degrees, all
:15:00. > :15:05.the insects take off, and that bat came out to hunt and try and get
:15:05. > :15:10.food. They're not doing well. was a very well April. So it wasn't
:15:10. > :15:15.a good time for the bats to hunt. They think it will be a bad
:15:15. > :15:20.breeding year for bats because their weight is down. Last week,
:15:20. > :15:25.the Vincent Wildlife Trust did a study on lesser horseshoe bats in
:15:25. > :15:32.Devon and they found the average weight has gone down to 25 grams it
:15:32. > :15:40.17 or 18 grams. In a small animal that's serious. Our bats, where we
:15:40. > :15:45.have the cram ras is a maternity roost. One of the birds that relies
:15:45. > :15:50.heavily on insects is our pied flycatcher, this is a bird we
:15:50. > :15:54.introduced you to yesterday. There's the nest, all the little
:15:55. > :16:00.chicks in there, seven hatched on the 7th of June, and both parents
:16:00. > :16:08.doing a lot of feeding. They're not feeding right now. Let have a look
:16:08. > :16:13.when they were feeding. This is interesting, because, fly catch
:16:13. > :16:18.Cher, that's the male and female. Both birds have coming in to do
:16:18. > :16:25.that feeding. They came in there with a caterpillar. They're
:16:25. > :16:29.bringing in flies, and beetles, but bringing in caterpillars too.
:16:29. > :16:34.That's the male, you can tell the difference between the two. The
:16:34. > :16:39.male is the black and white striking pattern. Female's duller.
:16:40. > :16:45.In again together. What they did notice was a large caterpillar
:16:45. > :16:51.being brought in. The adult not quite sure what to do with it. It
:16:51. > :16:57.looks a bit big for the chicks' beak, so it flies off, and we
:16:57. > :17:02.presume we made the most of it, and ate it itself. That was huge. He's
:17:02. > :17:07.not here. So we have our own pie chart. Now this is absolutely
:17:08. > :17:17.fascinating. This is looking at the pied fly catch Cher's diet n the
:17:17. > :17:27.adult, you can see the majority is flying insects. The caterpillar's
:17:27. > :17:28.
:17:28. > :17:34.10% but they're feeding the chicks here, a smaller pro - proportion,
:17:34. > :17:39.many of you ask, how do the chicks in the nest get fluid and water. Of
:17:39. > :17:44.course the caterpillars are 70% water, so that's now the chicks get
:17:44. > :17:48.the water. And that's why they're bringing caterpillars more than
:17:48. > :17:54.they would eat as adults. If you are a bird watch Cher, it normally
:17:54. > :18:00.means you can do your passion in relative comfort. You could sit
:18:00. > :18:04.indoors and waux the birds in a bird feeder or wrap up warm and go
:18:04. > :18:12.around the woods. But if if your passion is insects the conditions
:18:12. > :18:21.aren't always quite as glamorous. West Pembrokeshire is home to a
:18:21. > :18:28.woman with a passion for insects. Sarah manages the family farm to
:18:28. > :18:35.encourage all types of insects to thrive. Spring is the best time to
:18:35. > :18:40.survey the hedge rows and pastures to see if this is working. We've
:18:40. > :18:48.got, a lot of dock on the side here, so most people think dock, weed.
:18:48. > :18:53.But, to these little guys, dock is home. They're the barner's best
:18:53. > :18:59.friends, it's a agriculture land and these Beatles will feed on the
:18:59. > :19:06.dock leaf as adults and lava. He pulled his legs into himself, and
:19:06. > :19:10.normally if I wasn't here to hold him on, he would have fallen off.
:19:10. > :19:20.If anything is going to grab them, they pull the legs together, drop
:19:20. > :19:26.
:19:26. > :19:30.This is a large beetle, the wing cases are fused together, it
:19:30. > :19:37.doesn't fly, so it needs some way of protecting itself. If it gets
:19:37. > :19:43.picked up, for example by a bird, it will emit this foul tasting red
:19:43. > :19:50.insect blood through the nose which will make the bird spit it out and
:19:50. > :19:54.the beetle lives through another day, it is a bloody nose beetle.
:19:54. > :19:59.Beetles are plentiful all across the farm. But some of the most
:19:59. > :20:07.extraordinary insect behaviour is found in perhaps the least likely
:20:07. > :20:12.place. A dung pat. This is covered with yellow dung flies, we have the
:20:12. > :20:18.large males, they're golden yellow colour, furry flies with lots of
:20:18. > :20:22.hairs on the front legs. The at the males are a dull, brown, greeny
:20:22. > :20:32.colour. Most people assume these fliess are here to eat the dung.
:20:32. > :20:41.Not so. These flies are here to The male dung flies, will sit on
:20:41. > :20:45.the dung pat and wait for a female. We can see male tussling and
:20:46. > :20:55.fighting of at the males and also over space on the dung pat. They'll
:20:56. > :21:02.
:21:02. > :21:08.fight to the death sometimes. It is The males have got strong front
:21:08. > :21:18.legs to grab the at the males and hold the females down. The mating
:21:18. > :21:22.
:21:22. > :21:28.itself will last about 30 minutes, The male, will actually guard the
:21:28. > :21:35.female all the way through until she lays her eggs. He walks around
:21:35. > :21:42.on top of her,-to- waiting for her to lay. The eggs are tiny. You'll
:21:42. > :21:47.see them as cream dots on the top of a dung pat. The at the males
:21:47. > :21:51.don't lay their eggs anywhere. Imagine you were the size of a
:21:51. > :21:57.yellow dung pat, that dung pat would seem huge. But the at the
:21:57. > :22:06.males lay their eggs on hills, this prevents them getting waterlogged,
:22:06. > :22:11.as soon as she lays her eggs, he's off to find someone else.
:22:11. > :22:20.This frenzy of activity, not only provides for the next generation of
:22:20. > :22:25.dung flies, but it is also, vital for the farmland itself. Dung flies
:22:25. > :22:30.are really important in ecosystem functioning. Their lava live within
:22:30. > :22:34.the dung pat, eating and breaking it down. By doing that, they're
:22:34. > :22:40.pulling the nutrients in the soil, preventing dung pats sitting on the
:22:40. > :22:50.surface for years on end. Everyone should have a poke around in a
:22:50. > :22:50.
:22:50. > :22:59.You see, it's a great passion. But, it is not so glamorous is it. There
:22:59. > :23:05.she is on her knees by a pile of dung. If you're lucky enough to
:23:06. > :23:08.come across a pat like that, and give it 20 minutes, it is a
:23:08. > :23:12.phenomenonal called Ron of behaviour. You have the subadult
:23:12. > :23:17.males, waiting to sneak in and grab the at the males. The at the males,
:23:17. > :23:22.they don't lay their eggs anywhere, not in a pregs, which may fill with
:23:22. > :23:27.water, or top of a crest, but in the perfect place on the dung. It
:23:27. > :23:33.is top entertainment. I promise you. Let's have top entertainment and go
:23:33. > :23:37.live to your barn owls. I was on to and a loser there. These things are
:23:37. > :23:42.exquisite, the animal there on the left-hand-side, is definitely
:23:42. > :23:47.making progress in terms of its leaving the nest. It is preening
:23:48. > :23:52.away there, the flight feathers, are well down. It is obviously,
:23:52. > :23:56.trying to remove what remains of the waxy shaeth that covers them.
:23:56. > :24:02.Even the tail there, you can see, the barn owls have short tails. So
:24:02. > :24:07.that's a top view. It is still a way from fledging though isn't it?
:24:07. > :24:16.It is looking like more of an adult bird. We have a camera on the hill,
:24:16. > :24:21.so we can show you where the barn owls are, rel vanity to us. -
:24:21. > :24:26.relevant to us. Lots of rough grassland and meadows, that's ideal
:24:26. > :24:30.for the barn owls and that's where they do their hunting. It is the
:24:30. > :24:34.collection of the buildings, where the barn owls are nesting. Of
:24:34. > :24:38.course, we've been watching them throughout the course of the day.
:24:38. > :24:43.This is a neat little sequence we got, this was last night. Remember,
:24:43. > :24:49.they're in a barn, and it is pitch black. It is a blackout. But a fly
:24:49. > :24:59.has madeity way in, and it becomes the object of their fascination,
:24:59. > :25:08.
:25:08. > :25:12.It is like when one is in the bedroom. You turn the light on and
:25:12. > :25:18.you think where is the fly gone. And then, you think, I'll open the
:25:18. > :25:23.window and let it out and it hands like that. But the thing is it is
:25:23. > :25:31.pitch black in there, and yet if you look at them, they're looking
:25:31. > :25:38.exactly at the fly. All of them are following the progress of that fly.
:25:38. > :25:41.They must be using their ears, but nevertheless they're pinpointing it.
:25:41. > :25:45.Perfect practice. Do you know what I love about them, you can't help
:25:45. > :25:50.but smile when you watch them. Anything they do, makes me laugh.
:25:50. > :25:55.They are comecal. And a lot of people are drawn to owls, because
:25:55. > :26:03.they have a human facial structure. They have forward-facing eyes,
:26:03. > :26:10.their beak looks like a nose, and the disc looks like a face. It is
:26:10. > :26:15.like a heart. The hearts, OK. What about this. They're also, capable
:26:15. > :26:22.of making ungainly noises. We hear a lot of hising but this is
:26:22. > :26:25.different. This, is because they're upset with something. Our
:26:25. > :26:31.nestwatchers are paning the cameras around, this was last night.
:26:31. > :26:35.They're trying to see, what was, antagoniseing the owls. It could be
:26:35. > :26:39.almost anything to be honest with you. They've spent their life in
:26:39. > :26:44.the barn so they're not aware of too much of the outside world. It
:26:44. > :26:49.could be a rat or squirrel, or could be like a bat that's flown in
:26:49. > :26:55.and landed. It spooked them, and when they are spooked, they produce
:26:55. > :27:00.the constant hising sound, like a deflateing car tyre, and sway from
:27:00. > :27:04.side to side. That got you going again. Yesterday when we were
:27:04. > :27:08.showing you going like that, you watch them going like that. I'm
:27:08. > :27:15.sure loads of people are watching them like that.
:27:15. > :27:18.Anyway, from one large chick to a weany one. So small we haven't seen
:27:19. > :27:23.them properly. They are the goldcrest. Here they are live.
:27:23. > :27:28.There's the adult sitting in the nest. I'm concerned about this nest,
:27:28. > :27:33.because, we can feel the wind is starting. How is that nest going to
:27:34. > :27:38.cope, if it gets stormy? It is held together with spider's web, and
:27:38. > :27:43.that's common to use this material. It sounds remarkable that they
:27:43. > :27:48.collect web and make a nest out of it. But they achieve it. The fabric
:27:48. > :27:51.is tough, but also flexible and strong. So the thing about a
:27:51. > :27:58.goldcrest nest is it expands and contracts. You can stretch it and
:27:58. > :28:02.push it back in. It is spongey and that's how it copes with the wind
:28:02. > :28:06.belowing. You can feel the wind starting to get stronger. We know
:28:06. > :28:11.there were nine eggs in there, but we don't know how many chicks are
:28:11. > :28:16.out of the eggs. Let's have a look at this, there's evidence here,
:28:17. > :28:20.there's the adult taking a little bit of egg out of the nest. So
:28:20. > :28:25.clearly, that's something has hatched. I think that was today. We
:28:25. > :28:31.saw yesterday, I managed to see it a little chick pokeingity beak out.
:28:31. > :28:37.What is interesting, is yesterday, the male was doing two feeds an
:28:37. > :28:43.hour, and that's double today. That would imply a few more chicks have
:28:43. > :28:50.hatched. When they hatch, they weigh 0.8 of a gram. Although
:28:50. > :28:54.they're not bringing much food in, here the female is intent on eating
:28:55. > :29:00.what the male has been bringing in the chicks. I don't think they need
:29:00. > :29:03.that much food when they're that small. If there's plenty of food
:29:03. > :29:08.about, maybe we shouldn't be worried about the rate of feeding.
:29:08. > :29:13.That mighting a sign of it. Fingers crossed for them tonight if it gets
:29:14. > :29:17.stormy, or maybe the storm will go past. From the sublime to the
:29:17. > :29:27.ridiculous. We're now going underwater into ponds all around
:29:27. > :29:31.
:29:31. > :29:35.the UK. Martin has become very keen In winter, they're drab, but in
:29:35. > :29:40.springtime, now it is a completely different story, they're
:29:40. > :29:49.magnificent in their full breeding colours, and that One is the most
:29:49. > :29:53.magnificent one of them all, the grey crested institute. Our most
:29:53. > :30:03.strictly protected amphibian, their numbers crashed because of habitat
:30:03. > :30:04.
:30:04. > :30:09.loss, but not here. This is a haven for nuets on a great scale. They
:30:10. > :30:15.need lots of ponds near together with lovely, clean unpolluted water.
:30:15. > :30:22.But they need open spaces and scrub, so they can come out in winter and
:30:22. > :30:28.hibernate. And this place, has got it all. This is perfect, great
:30:28. > :30:34.crested institute territory. This has the highest population of them
:30:34. > :30:39.in the whole of Europe. The Hampton nature reserve in Peterborough,
:30:39. > :30:44.started life as an industrial site for bricks. It filled up behind and
:30:44. > :30:50.hundreds of ponds were created. In the 09s, the natural population was
:30:50. > :30:56.boosted by rescueed animals, generateing a supercolony of 0,000.
:30:56. > :31:01.The grey crested is the UK's largest, and can live up to 13
:31:01. > :31:05.years. The male is very handsome with speckled white spot on a black
:31:05. > :31:10.watery skin. He has a striking underbelly, which is a warning that
:31:10. > :31:17.he will taste bad. In spring, he grows an impressive jagged crest
:31:17. > :31:24.along his back and tail. The female, has an orange strieb along her tail,
:31:24. > :31:28.contrasting with his silver one. There's another species here, a
:31:29. > :31:33.smooth or common one, and that's the one you will see in your garden
:31:33. > :31:39.pond. These are sometimes active during the day, and I was hoping to
:31:39. > :31:47.get a good look at them with a specialist kit. We've got one here,
:31:47. > :31:53.a smooth one, displaying in front of me. It is just down there. The
:31:53. > :31:58.male's behind, and the female's in front. He wants to get ahead of her,
:31:58. > :32:08.and start flickingity tail at her. Here we go.
:32:08. > :32:15.
:32:15. > :32:23.Look at that. That has to be a television firt, while smooth Yutes,
:32:23. > :32:28.displaying to one another. Now I want to find the rareer, great
:32:28. > :32:35.crested nute, because their numbers are in freefall, the numbers are
:32:35. > :32:41.closely monitored by Frog Life. Every five years they conduct a
:32:41. > :32:51.count. Tonight I'm joining the dedicate volunteers. Are we doing
:32:51. > :32:52.
:32:52. > :33:02.the survey at night? Grey crested Nutes are a quiet species, and the
:33:02. > :33:04.
:33:04. > :33:11.best way to get them is shine ago light in the water. Everything
:33:11. > :33:17.looks the same shape. That's a male great crested Nute. There we go.
:33:17. > :33:27.You can see the shape of it, better now. They really are like
:33:27. > :33:30.underwater dine saurs, aren't they? How much longer will you and the
:33:30. > :33:36.volunteers stay out tonight? Another three hours, if the weather
:33:36. > :33:41.holds. Three hours tonight. I thought this survey would go on for
:33:41. > :33:51.one night, and that would be it. But it turns out, these volunteers,
:33:51. > :33:55.
:33:55. > :34:03.and Paul will be out 34 nights. To cover all 400 ponds here. I think,
:34:03. > :34:09.Frog Life volunteers - respect! Those volunteers, hard core. Hard
:34:09. > :34:19.core. Tough, very tough, or barking mad? Into no they're tough. Can I
:34:19. > :34:24.
:34:24. > :34:29.tell you one more thing, have you heard of nute guffing. We saw the
:34:29. > :34:34.male displaying to the female. She ignores him. He careies on showing
:34:34. > :34:41.off to her, she ignores him, and at the end when he is bursting to take
:34:41. > :34:50.air, he has to breathe, he comes up to her and belows a bubble of air
:34:50. > :34:54.at her, which is saying, I did all that displaying and all on that
:34:54. > :35:04.bubble of air. Have you tried it. We have the three species, hard to
:35:04. > :35:16.
:35:16. > :35:21.identify, tell the difference It has the webing, that gives its
:35:21. > :35:26.name on the legs. Then you have the great crested newt. It is an
:35:26. > :35:30.absolute monster of newt. It is a beautiful thing. But the whole
:35:30. > :35:36.thing is come employee kaited, in winter they look different to those
:35:36. > :35:41.lovely breeding colours, they lose the crest. And look like the at the
:35:41. > :35:48.males. Great crested newts are widespread and will occur in garden
:35:48. > :35:58.ponds. Even modest ponds like that one. They like them when they're
:35:58. > :36:02.
:36:02. > :36:09.deeper. But smooth newting, - newt could be found here. Last year, I
:36:09. > :36:17.dug a pond, smaller there, and I have newting in it. Now, frog life
:36:17. > :36:23.would like your help, if possible, in identifying any ponds that have
:36:23. > :36:31.Great Crested Newts, they want to map out and there's a link on our
:36:31. > :36:34.website. Now, Michaela. Into the weather is getting cold.
:36:34. > :36:38.The temperatures have really dropped here, there's no way I will
:36:38. > :36:43.get my hands in a pond today. I want to show you a barking mad
:36:43. > :36:48.squirrel. This is a squirrel we saw earlier on. And it is in our otter
:36:48. > :36:55.camera place. What is it doing? It is picking up some bark, and then
:36:55. > :37:01.it kind of falls over, juchs a bit, falls over on the back and picks up
:37:01. > :37:05.another bit and it is almost as if it's been bitten or tickleed or
:37:06. > :37:15.maybe it's had fermented fruit. What is it doing? If you know, tell
:37:15. > :37:21.us, because we haven't got a clue. Is there anything there Apparently,
:37:21. > :37:24.there was a wood mouse, it is one of those "you should have been here
:37:24. > :37:27.seconds ago". But we have been doing an experiment over the last
:37:27. > :37:32.couple of days, by putting different sourceness your mammal
:37:32. > :37:36.touch. We start off with fruit which was popular. We had all sorts
:37:36. > :37:43.in there, eating the fruit, thoroughly enjoying it, there's a
:37:43. > :37:46.bank vole there, and we had mice in, and then we tried meal worms, which
:37:46. > :37:53.weren't so popular. The mouse enjoying it, but not that
:37:53. > :37:58.interested is it. It picks up one there. Munches away but Chris that
:37:58. > :38:04.was your experiment, what are your results? Positive. Because the
:38:04. > :38:09.mouse was eating insect food. And wood mice eat a lot of insect food.
:38:09. > :38:13.Strangely males more than at the males, not sure why. They're
:38:13. > :38:18.opportunistic, they'll pick up insect and earthworms, particularly
:38:18. > :38:23.the beginning of summer when there isn't much fruit about. Martin
:38:23. > :38:29.mentioned, last night, they thought the rodents were getting a sugar
:38:29. > :38:32.hit from the grapes, it was true. Because we found that when they go
:38:32. > :38:39.out foraging, they go for the sugary things first before moving
:38:39. > :38:45.on other foods, to take on board fuel so they can for rage more
:38:45. > :38:51.effectively. Bank voles, will eat invert berates, but her' herbivores,
:38:51. > :38:55.they like seeds and grass, but their get is designed to cope with
:38:55. > :38:59.the tough material that is so hard to get out material and use in the
:38:59. > :39:05.body. One thing they can do, throughout the course of the season,
:39:05. > :39:11.the year, they will change the structure of their gut in tune what
:39:11. > :39:16.they're eating. So it is dependent on their diet. You think they're a
:39:16. > :39:21.vole, for an owl to eat, but they're highly complex little
:39:21. > :39:26.organisms, in tune with the remarkable ecosystem. I didn't know
:39:26. > :39:32.it was going to be a long explanation, but it was good. And
:39:32. > :39:40.you know, my child will go for the sweet things, but then forget to
:39:40. > :39:45.eat the good things. Now our bird feeders live. What have we got?
:39:45. > :39:50.Come on, it is cold and windy here. It is getting dark, I'm not
:39:50. > :40:00.surprised we haven't got anything feeder. That's your friend's Kate's
:40:00. > :40:01.
:40:01. > :40:07.feeder. It takes birds a while to get used to it. The only reason
:40:07. > :40:11.we've had birds is it is not there long enough. It is windy and
:40:11. > :40:17.waveing around. Unlike the wood peckers. Wood peckers have been
:40:17. > :40:22.busy, they've been coming in. And they fledged nearby, and they're
:40:22. > :40:26.visiting this feeder here. Once they finish breeding, you will see
:40:26. > :40:30.birds in your garden will return to the feeders, it may be some time,
:40:31. > :40:35.because they're intent on feeding their young on insects for protein,
:40:35. > :40:40.but particularly, at the end of summer, you get a surgeon of
:40:40. > :40:47.bluetits and grey tits coming in the garden to take advantage of the
:40:47. > :40:53.easy to find food. Earlier on, our woodwarbler nest was attacked by a
:40:53. > :40:59.cat. It was emosive, but how much I will pact do cats have on our
:40:59. > :41:05.birds? We sent Liz out to investigate. - emotive. With nine
:41:05. > :41:10.million pet cats in the UK and with garden birds in decline, should we
:41:10. > :41:16.worry about the impact cats have on our birds. Clarence here might look
:41:16. > :41:20.like butter wouldn't help, but millions of years have led to a
:41:20. > :41:26.finely tuned ambush predator, excellent at catching small animals.
:41:26. > :41:31.A few thousand years of demest case have done nothing to undo that. How
:41:31. > :41:36.much of an effect these hunting skills have, may not be as clear as
:41:36. > :41:41.we think. A recent mammal society survey, estimated that cats bring
:41:41. > :41:44.in around 55 million dead birds ever wri year. But how significant
:41:44. > :41:49.is that? It sounds like a huge amount and something that upsets a
:41:49. > :41:55.lot of people. But to find out if this is really an issue, I've come
:41:55. > :42:00.to meet Colin Wilkinson from the RSPB. The research we've done and
:42:00. > :42:04.other people have done into the reasons why some urban birds are
:42:04. > :42:08.declineing have failed to reveal a link between cat preed days, and
:42:08. > :42:14.what these populations are doing. Would it be true to say the birds
:42:14. > :42:19.in this country have time to revolve in order to avaied ground
:42:19. > :42:27.predators like cats? British birds have evolveed over milla, to deal
:42:27. > :42:32.with a whole range of predators, all sorts of things out there. The
:42:32. > :42:38.obvious thing that our garden birds are doing, is laying lots of eggs.
:42:38. > :42:44.The truth is most don't survive. With evidence to suggest cats will
:42:44. > :42:48.oven take weaker or sick birds that are unlikely to survive the first
:42:48. > :42:53.year, the society doesn't think it has an impact on the population.
:42:53. > :42:56.But not everyone is convinced there isn't a problem. Scientists
:42:56. > :43:00.question the accuracy of the research being used. Let's take a
:43:00. > :43:05.look at the statistics. Studies estimate that cats bring home only
:43:05. > :43:09.0% of what they kill. Which means on top of roughly 55 million birds
:43:09. > :43:15.brought home every year, there's roughly another 128 million dead
:43:15. > :43:23.ones that we never see. But could we within underestimating
:43:23. > :43:27.the total number of birds cat kill? An ecologist from Reading
:43:27. > :43:31.university worried we've put too much faith in the figures. We had
:43:31. > :43:36.to rely figures from other studies, they come from non-urban habitats
:43:36. > :43:40.and other countries. The reason for using the 0% is the only one we
:43:40. > :43:45.realistically have. How do we improve our assessment of the
:43:45. > :43:50.situation. Cats are notoriously difficult to study by their nature?
:43:50. > :43:55.What we need is a technique to enable us to see what they're doing
:43:55. > :44:01.in people's back gardens. How a team of researchers developed a way
:44:01. > :44:05.to get a cat's eye view what they're up to. Clarence is a
:44:05. > :44:10.proficient killer of birds, a perfect cat to demonstrate how the
:44:10. > :44:14.research can be done with a cat cam. Attached is a camera, height enough
:44:14. > :44:21.not to interfere with his normal activities. It will show us exactly
:44:21. > :44:26.what he gets up to, when he leaves the house. Is it switched on.
:44:26. > :44:31.Clarence, you're on. This should be interesting, off you
:44:31. > :44:36.go. Let see what we get back. How long will the battery last?
:44:36. > :44:41.should get two to three hours of the world from Clarence's point of
:44:41. > :44:47.view. It is a little difficult to watch as these cameras have no
:44:47. > :44:53.image stabiliseer, but up until now, we've only been able to use GPS to
:44:53. > :45:00.find out where cat's hunt. The video diary hasn't caught him on a
:45:00. > :45:04.hunt. But it shows where he goes and what he does. Right, that is
:45:04. > :45:11.the cat cam from our Clarence the cat. It is interesting to see, what
:45:11. > :45:15.the cats are getting up to, isn't it. This gives us a level of detail
:45:15. > :45:18.of behaviour we never saw before, like what prey they're taking and
:45:18. > :45:24.how much prey they bring home, relative to the numbers they take.
:45:24. > :45:29.That will give us a much, much, better picture of the issue of the
:45:29. > :45:33.impact of cats on wildlife in urban areas, in a way we've never been
:45:33. > :45:37.able to do before. Well that research will continue, and it will
:45:37. > :45:41.be very interesting to see the results. Now I want to say
:45:41. > :45:47.something important. We on Springwatch are not anti-cats. We
:45:47. > :45:52.love cats, of course we do. We love animals. But we want to encourage
:45:52. > :45:57.responsible cat ownership. There are a few simple things you can do
:45:57. > :46:05.if you like the birds and the cats. First thing, if you keep your cat
:46:05. > :46:12.in at night. Research has shown that reduces, overall predays, by
:46:12. > :46:18.50%, just keepings the cat in overnight. So simple. Another thing
:46:18. > :46:24.is get a new collar, this beeper attached which emits a sound, but
:46:24. > :46:31.active vaits when the cat goes into hunting mode. In the living room,
:46:31. > :46:38.it won't be pleeping, these cost a few pounds and you can fit them on

:46:45. > :46:53.they said make sure you can put two fingers between the collar and the
:46:53. > :46:58.cat's neck. Don't use elastic collars. Is a bell any good? Bells
:46:58. > :47:04.are a good idea. This is one with a single bell on there. But this one
:47:04. > :47:10.is better, it has two bells, two tones. The problem with bells, over
:47:10. > :47:16.the newer devices is eventually they fill up with muck or water and
:47:16. > :47:23.don't work. So, think think for the price of a few pounds, get the new
:47:23. > :47:29.collar. The The last thing you can do is get your cat knew neutered,
:47:29. > :47:32.this stops the cat roaming, they tepd to stick closer to your garden.
:47:33. > :47:35.In the garden you can monitor what your cat's doing and make other
:47:35. > :47:40.changes. It is important to be sensible. If
:47:40. > :47:45.you're going to feed your birds, which we encourage, think about
:47:45. > :47:52.where a cat can get to the bird feeders. Don't put it near a fence,
:47:52. > :47:57.or don't feed the birds on the ground if you got cats. It needs a
:47:57. > :48:03.bit of common sense. Same with nest boxes. Put them on a plain wall
:48:03. > :48:13.where it can't be reached. It isn't rocket science, but it will make a
:48:13. > :48:13.
:48:13. > :48:18.difference. In austraila, they have a curfew on
:48:18. > :48:23.cats, where you are not allowed to let your cat out. If your cat is
:48:23. > :48:29.seen out, it will arrest the cat. And you're only allow today have it
:48:29. > :48:35.back, once you pay your fine u have problems with endemic wildlife
:48:36. > :48:40.that is exterminated by cats. I'm a dog owner, dogs have a very
:48:40. > :48:45.detrimental effect on wildlife. When they're off the lead they
:48:45. > :48:50.disturb lots of birds. But we dog owners have changed our behaviour.
:48:50. > :48:55.My mum used to let the dog out for a run, and people never pooped and
:48:55. > :49:01.scooped. But if the cat keepers, and many love their birds too, were
:49:01. > :49:05.to change their behaviour, we would have a richer degree of wildlife
:49:05. > :49:11.living. Some viewers have really good suggestions of how you can
:49:11. > :49:21.help with your cat. Make it sit in and watch Springwatch and not allow
:49:21. > :49:23.
:49:23. > :49:28.it out again. His cat is thoroughly enjoying Springwatch. That cat is
:49:28. > :49:34.eyeing up the barn owls, but that's the way they can enjoy the birds,
:49:34. > :49:42.hunt them on the telly. Look at that one, that cat is enjoying us
:49:42. > :49:45.three. It is looking at you. will be showing more photos on
:49:45. > :49:50.Springwatch Unsprung which is coming on directly after this
:49:50. > :49:56.programme. Let's talk about wadeers. What are wadeers, dictionary
:49:56. > :50:00.defiance them as long leged birds that live near water. We have
:50:00. > :50:10.started to film wadeers on here, there are water here that are great
:50:10. > :50:15.for them. Let's have a look at where the wadeers are. The camera
:50:15. > :50:21.sweeping over where we are, and the glorious flat, the salt flats, lots
:50:21. > :50:26.of mud there, loads and loads for the birds to feed on. Now, what are
:50:26. > :50:36.the most common waders down there? Let's have a look at some of the
:50:36. > :50:36.
:50:36. > :50:42.birds we have been filming. Here we can, a lap wing A redshank, the
:50:42. > :50:46.most common wader in the UK. Absolutely beautiful. Now, lap
:50:46. > :50:50.wings are one of the birds in serious decline. They have
:50:50. > :50:54.plummeted, more than 50% in ten years. They struggle to look after
:50:54. > :51:00.their young. When they hatch, all sorts of things have their eyes on
:51:00. > :51:06.them. We saw this earlier, these are Oyster catchers, attacking a
:51:06. > :51:13.Red Kite. Red Kites will take small prey, such as wader chicks, and the
:51:13. > :51:19.lap wings join in. All the waders drive this bird away quickly.
:51:19. > :51:24.But some more serious predator, particularly when they're young
:51:24. > :51:29.like this, this is a couple of days old, still being looked after by
:51:29. > :51:32.the adult there. And two of them, and their strategy when they're
:51:32. > :51:39.spotted is freeze for make for cover. But the animal I was talking
:51:39. > :51:44.to, is this, the car yn crow, the lap wipgs spotted a crow, it is not
:51:44. > :51:54.just the pair that have chicks there, they use this attacking of
:51:54. > :51:57.
:51:57. > :52:03.the crow. Listen, it is a magical sound. A magical sound and it did
:52:03. > :52:10.the trick, because the crow was long gone. They did do the trick,
:52:10. > :52:14.because take a look at those chicks, there we go, we have an older
:52:14. > :52:19.redshank, looking cute. And we have an older lap wing. Now, we're
:52:19. > :52:26.hoping this will be a good year on the reserve, hoping the 44 pairs
:52:26. > :52:31.they've got will breed one chick each, so it could be a good year
:52:31. > :52:36.here. Of course as soon as they're adults they will face a different
:52:36. > :52:40.type of predator, and we've been looking at this, with the
:52:40. > :52:44.peregrines. The wind has let up a little bit and the rain. I came
:52:44. > :52:48.here expecting sunshine, this is Welsh weather, what is going on. It
:52:48. > :52:54.doesn't matter, because we've been entertained by our peregrine
:52:54. > :52:59.falcons. I want to show you our cameraman filmed yesterday, showing
:52:59. > :53:04.what a potential predator gets too close to the nest. Look at this.
:53:04. > :53:09.know peregrines have been nesting here in Bath since 2006 and doing
:53:09. > :53:13.well. But other birds have moved in, namely gulls, herring gulls and
:53:13. > :53:18.lesser black backed gulls. They're declineing in the sofl areas, but
:53:18. > :53:22.very much on the increase in our towns and cities. And this, brings
:53:22. > :53:27.them into potential conflict with peregrines. Don't forget these are
:53:27. > :53:32.big birds, almost the size of a buzzard. What happens when one
:53:32. > :53:39.pushs their luck. I warn you to watch carefully, bang, did you see
:53:39. > :53:45.that, I think it is a young herring gull. We slowed it down here. Bear
:53:45. > :53:50.in mind it is going of speeds up to 100mph. Takes a shrunk out, but no
:53:50. > :53:56.harm done, it is not prey, but teaching a lesson. It goes back up
:53:56. > :54:01.and looks smug up there, if I may say so. Isn't that fantastic, the
:54:01. > :54:06.peregrine must be half the size of the gull. We've enjoyed intimate
:54:06. > :54:12.insight into peregrine life, thanks to our nest catch way up there.
:54:12. > :54:18.We've seen the eggs hatch, and the chicks grow, and a young male
:54:18. > :54:25.helping as best he can. You've enjoyed it, because we've had an
:54:25. > :54:29.incredible reaction, you've enjoyed the big closeups. So we thought we
:54:29. > :54:34.would show you adaptations the peregrine has to the fast life on
:54:34. > :54:40.the wing. Our chicks are fast asleep now I think. But earlier on,
:54:41. > :54:48.they were alert here, they are, five weeks old and look at the eyes.
:54:48. > :54:54.That eyelid moving across, a third eyelid. It's a membrane, and their
:54:55. > :55:00.eyesight is superb, nine times better than we can. Look at the
:55:00. > :55:07.most tral it's a conical device, that slows down the wind speed when
:55:07. > :55:14.the bird is diving, so the wind doesn't rush in the lungs and burst
:55:14. > :55:20.the lungs. But also, look at the killing machines, the talons. Look
:55:20. > :55:25.at that, bright yellow, and the beak is for riping up prey, more
:55:25. > :55:30.than anything else. That's the tooth, that is a notch, that can
:55:30. > :55:33.distinguish falcons from hawks and eagles. Closeup of peregrines like
:55:34. > :55:38.you will never see again. The big thing of course, is what
:55:38. > :55:43.happens to our peregrines now. We know that they will fledge in
:55:43. > :55:50.roughly a week, so we will leave a cameraman to film that. After that,
:55:50. > :55:54.they'll stay in the immediate advice yint - vicinity for a while,
:55:54. > :55:59.but they won't be kicked out until the end of the summer, and then
:55:59. > :56:03.they will have to set up their own territories. They don't breed until
:56:03. > :56:07.they're two years old. This young male is an exception. But it will
:56:07. > :56:11.be interesting to see what happens. This is new research, because urban
:56:11. > :56:16.peregrines, have been nesting in our towns and cities, for about 0
:56:17. > :56:23.years or so. But these are - 30 years or so. Lots of people coming
:56:24. > :56:28.here to see them. From the Bath peregrines, it is back up in Wales.
:56:28. > :56:32.Thanks. Fantastic to see the peregrines there, and from one top
:56:32. > :56:39.predator to another. Let's have a look at our ospreys. And curious
:56:39. > :56:43.things have been going on there. The dominant chick, and it is
:56:43. > :56:48.actually wrestling its sibling to the ground there. It looks a bit
:56:48. > :56:52.rough. In fact, it was a trout. A slap in the face for its troubles.
:56:52. > :56:57.But it seems to be getting most of the food here.
:56:57. > :57:03.Its brother or sister is not getting a lot. Curiously, even when
:57:03. > :57:11.the parent goes away, there's a surprising degree of aggression.
:57:11. > :57:18.Look at that. Really nasty goings on in that nest, taking it out.
:57:18. > :57:22.That's unusual suspect it Unusual in os greys. We see that cane and
:57:22. > :57:28.abell strategy, which a big one can survive off the little ones, but
:57:28. > :57:33.we'll have to keep an eye on that. Can we look here on the live
:57:33. > :57:38.cameras. What shall we go to, the marsh camp. I'm feeling the wind
:57:38. > :57:42.behind me, it is not looking as stormy as I thought it would be.
:57:42. > :57:46.We've still the three cygnets, I think, which is amazing. And really
:57:46. > :57:51.good news. I think that's a good positive thing to end the show on.
:57:51. > :57:56.That's it from us, for this week, on Springwatch at least. We'll be
:57:56. > :57:59.back on Monday. I'm sure plenty will be on on on the webcam, so
:57:59. > :58:04.keep your eye on those on the weekend, because some birds will be
:58:05. > :58:10.fledging. Some will be coping with the windy weather. Especially our
:58:10. > :58:14.little gold press, how will they cope if the wind picks up is this
:58:14. > :58:20.Next week we will be catching up with the otters down here, and
:58:20. > :58:24.diping into the secrets lives. an eye on the red start, because
:58:24. > :58:30.they may fledge over the weekend, and you'll see that bf we do on
