:00:14. > :00:24.Afternoon. We are very much alive and coming to you from the RSPB 's
:00:24. > :00:45.
:00:45. > :00:50.reserve in Wales. And we have issue crescendo with wildlife absolutely
:00:50. > :00:54.everywhere. It is a brilliant time to get out and see it for yourself
:00:54. > :01:00.and there is loads of information about how to do that later in the
:01:00. > :01:06.show and on our website. We are also good at cameras and as spring moves
:01:06. > :01:11.into summertime, for many characters, the living is easy...
:01:11. > :01:16.The weather has been gorgeous and the birds have been taking advantage
:01:16. > :01:26.of the insects. The great spotted woodpecker has been busy. As has the
:01:26. > :01:32.blackbird. And the family of red studs. All the chicks are getting
:01:32. > :01:38.regular feeding. Over the waterfall, the Deborah chicks have grown so
:01:38. > :01:41.much since we first saw them and they will be fledging very soon. The
:01:41. > :01:51.Meadow Hibbitt is also growing very quickly, even though the mother
:01:51. > :01:52.
:01:52. > :02:00.seems to be stealing food. There has been a feeding frenzy with the
:02:00. > :02:04.mammals, with shrews and wood mice taking advantage. And the jackdaw,
:02:04. > :02:08.those nasty neighbours, still on the attack. It looks like the chicks are
:02:08. > :02:15.getting big and strong enough to defend themselves. Have they been
:02:15. > :02:21.chased off for the very last time? You might notice all of the leaves,
:02:21. > :02:27.flowers blooming and the insect life follows close behind. It is that
:02:27. > :02:32.insect life that the birds are plundering. That is what is
:02:32. > :02:37.happening and let us go to one of those cameras, this is life. Nobody
:02:37. > :02:45.there expect what is going on? If you had watched last night, you will
:02:45. > :02:51.know. The great tits have gone. But what happens? This is what started
:02:51. > :02:55.about 16 days ago. They started off with aid of them. The number has
:02:56. > :03:00.reduced by several, five of them. And look how quickly they have
:03:00. > :03:09.grown. They have gone from being little pink fleshy lumps to things
:03:09. > :03:13.that are not recognisable. Yesterday, on the evening show, they
:03:13. > :03:19.were just wrapping up and something amazing happens. This caught us on
:03:19. > :03:25.the hop. Look at this. This was yesterday, on a, the birds jumping
:03:25. > :03:30.about and stretching and then... At the end of the Evening Post macro we
:03:30. > :03:33.thought this will not happen. They do not normally fledge in the
:03:33. > :03:42.evenings and we have the adult, calling the first of those checks.
:03:42. > :03:47.And there it goes... That is the first. And that is what you saw, if
:03:47. > :03:51.you saw last night. We caught the last bird leaving the nest. Right on
:03:51. > :03:55.the end of the programme, it was pretty exciting and surprising. And
:03:55. > :04:05.to find out what it was like when it happened, I caught up with Michaela
:04:05. > :04:12.and Chris. The big news was the surprising fledging great tips?
:04:12. > :04:21.Totally caught on the hop. On the live cameras, it is just sitting
:04:21. > :04:30.there and, oh my goodness! What is happening? Complete surprise.
:04:30. > :04:33.is T! Where do you get it from? is herbal! It was a browsing because
:04:33. > :04:37.typically -- typically they do not go in the Evening Post and they
:04:37. > :04:42.would take one day to get out. For the whole lot of them to pilot in
:04:42. > :04:50.the evening, last thing, not a great strategy, but that caught us on the
:04:50. > :04:54.hop. We sent someone out to see what happened, Colburn -- hoping to catch
:04:54. > :04:58.that that a cluster. What is the future? Hopefully they got together
:04:58. > :05:03.overnight in one place so they will have been ready for food first thing
:05:03. > :05:06.this morning. What we have seen with small birds is frenetic feeding
:05:07. > :05:12.first thing in the morning, they have lost weight overnight and they
:05:12. > :05:19.have to get fed so then today, they must avoid sparrowhawks, buzzards,
:05:19. > :05:24.foxes, weasels! They are in the rat race and it's about staying alive
:05:24. > :05:30.for the next couple of weeks. that time of night, it was not
:05:30. > :05:33.sensible. Since that interview, our long lens cameraman has got back
:05:34. > :05:39.with footage and I am pleased to announce that they made it through
:05:39. > :05:45.the night. Let's have a look at these shots. Quite endearing. We
:05:46. > :05:55.have managed to locate four of them. It does not mean the fifth one has
:05:56. > :05:58.
:05:58. > :06:03.gone, it just means we did not find it. That is life. Even though they
:06:03. > :06:10.are not mine, I've been quite eternal. The adult bird feeding.
:06:10. > :06:15.Look at that. You might well see these birds very shortly, not these
:06:15. > :06:22.individuals, but if you see some washed out birds, paler, like water
:06:22. > :06:25.coloured, yellow wash all over, even those yellow cheeks, look for them
:06:25. > :06:31.on your bird feeder because they turn up at this time of year, and it
:06:31. > :06:37.is very nice indeed. Lovely stuff. We are all about the coast and there
:06:37. > :06:42.are loads of things to do. One great introduction to coastal wildlife is
:06:42. > :06:52.to go to the rock pools. And my family came up to visit us in Wales
:06:52. > :06:53.
:06:53. > :06:58.and I want -- went rock pooling with my daughter. This is the
:06:58. > :07:05.quintessential summertime experience for most people. At some point in
:07:05. > :07:11.the year, most of us make it to the shore and this area of transition,
:07:12. > :07:16.it is when you get transition that magic happens. Between the tides,
:07:16. > :07:20.there was this wonderful world of beauty and diversity. For some
:07:20. > :07:26.creatures it is a permanent home, a refuge until the tide comes in but
:07:26. > :07:32.for others, it is a nursery. Plenty of excitement and adventure to be
:07:32. > :07:42.had but today, like most visitors, we are on the hunt for crabs.
:07:42. > :07:43.
:07:43. > :07:48.dead. Or just an anti-Shell? -- empty shell? Crabs or are station
:07:48. > :07:55.and unlike other invertebrates, they don't have any internal skeleton
:07:55. > :08:00.like us, so in order to grow, they have to get rid of the skeleton on
:08:00. > :08:05.the outside, he literally pops his food and crawls out backwards from
:08:05. > :08:12.his old exterior and he will harden up somewhere. This is left
:08:12. > :08:22.discarded. This is a baby crab.He is a bit small, he has more moulding
:08:22. > :08:23.
:08:23. > :08:31.to go. At least I find a crab!I was not knocking your achievement! Green
:08:31. > :08:38.shore crab, he is beautiful, little spots, as well. Isn't he knows? --
:08:38. > :08:42.nice? There is lots of different kinds of year. The common crab is
:08:42. > :08:47.the one you are most likely to see. You can also see hermit crabs and
:08:47. > :08:53.they are not true crabs but they are still crustaceans. And if lucky, you
:08:53. > :09:03.might find the velvet swimming crab. Rock pooling is like porn stepping
:09:03. > :09:10.in the sense that he really just need your fingers Andy Birkett. Or,
:09:10. > :09:14.if you want to take it forward, I will bring a transparent take. And a
:09:14. > :09:19.net can be handy, to try to catch shrimp and bronze and perhaps a
:09:19. > :09:29.magnifying lens but just loads of curiosity. And the great thing is,
:09:29. > :09:30.
:09:30. > :09:34.we all have some of that somewhere. Just get stuck in and it's fun for
:09:34. > :09:39.all the family and look at this, this is not some prop, these are the
:09:39. > :09:45.very crab shells, the anti-cases, that the find at the weekend and
:09:45. > :09:50.look at them. All idea was put them on the windowsill on a piece of
:09:50. > :09:57.kitchen roll, and I let them dry out naturally so they fix themselves
:09:57. > :10:03.into this natural position and I have got a little souvenir. Most
:10:03. > :10:09.normal people would capture the memories in another way, using a
:10:09. > :10:15.camera. Wildlife photography is rounded by myth and some snobbery so
:10:15. > :10:25.to spell it all odd, I have a wildlife photographer. How are you
:10:25. > :10:27.
:10:27. > :10:36.doing? Can I clarify this? We are alive. He is David Bailey, but not
:10:36. > :10:40.the one that photographs models. You are younger! You one the Welsh
:10:40. > :10:45.wildlife photographer of the year award back in 2011? Let us start by
:10:45. > :10:53.saying that image, the winning image. That is absolutely stunning.
:10:53. > :10:56.Couple of otters? It happened right under the road bridge at Cardigan.
:10:56. > :11:01.The main road behind me and I was just the right place at the right
:11:01. > :11:08.time. That is as far from the wind in the Willows you can get!
:11:08. > :11:18.romantic at all! We have another one of your shots. Look at that! It is
:11:18. > :11:21.like an angel! Sheer luck, firing into the sun. These owls were
:11:21. > :11:31.hunting all day long and this one just harboured against the son and I
:11:31. > :11:33.took my chance. It pays to take the chance sometimes. You can look at
:11:33. > :11:42.those results quickly afterwards with digital photography and you can
:11:42. > :11:49.learn quicker. Get out there and do it. Give us just a feud top tips.
:11:49. > :11:53.What can people do? Never chase wildlife, it would just run away,
:11:53. > :11:59.you will just get the backend. Never do that. Observation is the largest
:11:59. > :12:05.thing. Get to know the subject, the walking area, look for little signs
:12:05. > :12:11.in the area, along the hedgerow, tracks, then pick your spot and sit
:12:11. > :12:17.down and wait and see if something happens. What about get? I have got
:12:17. > :12:21.lots of big, expensive cameras and lights and I look at so my friends
:12:21. > :12:28.and they are much better with just a little happy snapper? Nothing wrong
:12:28. > :12:35.with that. It is whatever you can afford, compact cameras, you can
:12:35. > :12:37.find things in your garden. Snails, slugs. You will never get any
:12:37. > :12:40.long-distance photograph of something moving quickly but just
:12:40. > :12:47.know the limitations of what you have got. Know your subject really
:12:47. > :12:52.well, I observe behaviour and know the limitations? Brilliant, thank
:12:52. > :12:57.you very much for coming in and thank you for those top tips. We
:12:57. > :13:01.have top about insects and creatures, otters and owls, but even
:13:01. > :13:08.in suburbia, a small garden, there are plenty of subject is you can
:13:08. > :13:15.find. My approach to managing my garden is minimalist. I let things
:13:15. > :13:19.run wild, I like how everything intertwines and it becomes a rich
:13:19. > :13:26.tapestry. Most people pull up their weeds but I like to leave them
:13:26. > :13:29.because a very popular with insects. I am J Dykes, I live in Salisbury
:13:29. > :13:35.and I have been taking photographs of my garden for seven years. Most
:13:35. > :13:39.people think of wildlife as foxes and rabbits but for me, it is about
:13:39. > :13:43.the little creatures, and my job as a graphic designer is all about
:13:43. > :13:48.detail. The organic and mechanical at the same time, that is
:13:48. > :13:58.fascinating. It is a whole new world. And it is right here. My
:13:58. > :13:59.
:13:59. > :14:03.garden might be small but the world of photography within it is vast. I
:14:03. > :14:07.have seen major programmes on television showing me the Serengeti
:14:07. > :14:11.and a huge range of animals and then I come to my back garden and I can
:14:11. > :14:15.find just as diverse a range of creatures as I can see on television
:14:15. > :14:21.so it is always fresh and exciting. One picture I have, which is my
:14:21. > :14:24.favourite, is an aphid with a ladybird behind it and from the
:14:24. > :14:31.front it looks lovely, but from the side, you can see that the ladybird
:14:31. > :14:38.is actually eating the aphid and it is still alive. And that is rather
:14:38. > :14:41.horrific, rather like lions on the plains of the Serengeti. I knew that
:14:41. > :14:45.I would properly see some death in my garden but I never thought I
:14:45. > :14:50.would actually witness new life. This photograph is another
:14:50. > :14:57.favourite, this aphid is giving birth and that is just incredible to
:14:57. > :15:01.watch. If you have a small garden, you can get incredible enjoyment
:15:01. > :15:11.from going out and just looking, really look closely. There is all
:15:11. > :15:22.
:15:22. > :15:26.Look at that lot. My guest today is responsible for this. I am, I'm
:15:26. > :15:30.sorry. We are doing a behind-the-scenes of Springwatch for
:15:30. > :15:34.the blue Peter viewers. How does it work, how do you rely on the fact
:15:34. > :15:41.you've got wildlife on the show and wide does whatever it wants when
:15:42. > :15:49.ever it pleases. You are filming behind-the-scenes behind-the-scenes
:15:49. > :15:55.of Springwatch. Guess.Barney is a man of many talents. Children's
:15:55. > :16:00.BBC, blue Peter, you do the thing with the bear. My daughter loves it.
:16:00. > :16:06.But you are holding a big, posh camera. I didn't know you did a bit
:16:06. > :16:10.of photography. I love it. I went to do a show in Costa Rica with a very
:16:10. > :16:15.talented guy called Mark McEwan. He took me for a bit of a spin with his
:16:15. > :16:25.camera and said, this is what you can do. This is photography. I went
:16:25. > :16:28.
:16:28. > :16:33.out and bought my own and have been hooked since. This is a red eyed
:16:33. > :16:37.tree frog. The people who know me know I don't like frogs very much.
:16:37. > :16:41.What a lovely shot. That this lens I've got here. It was on a little
:16:41. > :16:51.bit of a leaf. We stepped up and snapped that. Let's have another
:16:51. > :16:55.
:16:55. > :17:00.I saw this little guy sheltering from a rainstorm underneath the
:17:00. > :17:05.flower. When you are taking pictures of wildlife, you don't always know
:17:05. > :17:13.what is going to be there. You've got some pretty full on extremes to
:17:13. > :17:19.get the shot, haven't you? There is a thing called para- hoping, it's
:17:19. > :17:23.paragliding whilst chasing a hawk. A beautiful Harris hawk, I went into
:17:23. > :17:27.the air alongside him to try and get that actuality shops. We had such
:17:27. > :17:31.fun. It's the first time I've ever throw myself off a cliff
:17:31. > :17:41.deliberately, and I have to get the shot as well. We had about the 20
:17:41. > :17:51.
:17:51. > :17:58.minute window to get it. Let's have feeling. What is really strange is
:17:58. > :18:03.that it's just a chair. There's nothing else to it. It's a beautiful
:18:03. > :18:07.feeling, it's everyone's dream to be able to fly. It's incredible.
:18:07. > :18:11.There's a lot of firsts happening today. It's the first time I've ever
:18:11. > :18:15.been in a paragraph. It's the first time I've ever tried to take a
:18:15. > :18:20.picture of a Harris hawk. And it's also the first time this particular
:18:20. > :18:24.Harris hawk has flown towards anyone other than Martin, his handler. So
:18:24. > :18:29.there's a lot of things that could go wrong here but me -- we are more
:18:29. > :18:32.than prepared to give it a go. Martin is about to take off and
:18:32. > :18:42.hopefully, the hawk will follow him. If we can get close enough, I should
:18:42. > :18:57.
:18:57. > :19:03.be able to get a fantastic picture. dropped and my window to get a
:19:03. > :19:08.picture has closed. I just hope I've managed to get a good picture.
:19:08. > :19:11.must have been absolutely incredible. Just watching it, I
:19:11. > :19:16.still feel as nervous as I did at the time. I had no idea I was going
:19:16. > :19:20.to be jumping off a cliff. Even know you know you are going to be in the
:19:20. > :19:24.air, you don't realise that the process of taking off. We didn't
:19:24. > :19:28.know with the wind was going to be strong enough, so I had about 20
:19:28. > :19:33.minutes to get the shot. I didn't get the shot I wanted. You can't
:19:33. > :19:38.predict what's going to happen. One particular point he flew beneath us
:19:38. > :19:44.and I just managed to get the shot as he flew underneath a glider.
:19:44. > :19:51.at that. A rare shot, looking down on a Harris hawk. It's a birds eye
:19:51. > :20:01.view of bird. We'll let you get onto your behind-the-scenes filming. Have
:20:01. > :20:05.
:20:05. > :20:10.a good day around the Springwatch encourage you to get out there. If
:20:10. > :20:15.you've been inspired by that story of photography or even David
:20:15. > :20:19.Bailey's photography, then there's information for you on the Summer of
:20:20. > :20:29.Wildlife Season and in our Summer of Wildlife Season will it. It's called
:20:30. > :20:38.
:20:38. > :20:42.now. Look at that, they are huddled up in the nest. Let's go to a little
:20:43. > :20:50.bit earlier on, when we have a bit more action. There's the female
:20:50. > :20:56.blackbird with a beak full of caterpillars and crane flies. Then
:20:56. > :21:00.the male comes in. He's got loads in his beak. My blackbird on my lawn
:21:00. > :21:05.lasted, I counted 18 different mealworms in his beak at the same
:21:06. > :21:10.time. We simply don't know how they do that. Look out for this on your
:21:10. > :21:20.lawn. If you see a blackbird carrying a beak full of food, you
:21:20. > :21:23.
:21:23. > :21:30.know he's doing exactly what our show before, is our wildlife sound
:21:30. > :21:34.recordist. Every day he gives us a challenge. It's lovely here. You've
:21:34. > :21:42.really made yourself a little base. It looks a little bit too relaxed
:21:42. > :21:52.for a day at work. Sound of the day, you are going to challenge us. Let's
:21:52. > :22:19.
:22:19. > :22:22.tea and cake. We have seen that the coastal wildlife comes in all shapes
:22:23. > :22:28.and sizes. We have looked at the little things in the rock pools, but
:22:28. > :22:36.there's also a real adrenaline buzz to be had. Chris Packham was lucky
:22:36. > :22:40.enough to get that buzz himself. We are on our way out now. Fingers
:22:40. > :22:43.crossed we are going to be lucky. The sightings in the last few days
:22:43. > :22:48.have been really good. Up to ten dolphins. The conditions could
:22:48. > :22:52.hardly be fine. We got a nice, flat sea, which means we can see anything
:22:52. > :23:02.arising out of it, and a bit of sunshine. And it's not too cold.
:23:02. > :23:07.
:23:07. > :23:11.Perfect! And it didn't take long for the Dolphins to come and find us.
:23:11. > :23:16.These bottlenose dolphins are the most northerly resident population
:23:16. > :23:21.on the entire planet. They are also the largest. They can grow up to
:23:21. > :23:28.four metres long and weigh half a tonne. And, of course, they are this
:23:28. > :23:32.big to combat the cold North Sea. Look at this! That's a pretty good
:23:32. > :23:36.view. The animals are sometimes completely clearing the water, you
:23:36. > :23:46.get a great view of their face. There's all this rolling over going
:23:46. > :23:53.on 50 metres away. That's a 9.8 from the English judge, I have to say!
:23:53. > :23:57.They are performing brilliantly. Look at this! You've just got to
:23:57. > :24:00.wonder what they are doing, really. It's difficult to think of animals
:24:00. > :24:04.playing because their lives are almost dashed back are always so
:24:04. > :24:07.highly strung, that taking time out to play is something we always
:24:07. > :24:11.associate with human behaviour and not animals. And yet what more could
:24:11. > :24:21.they be doing at the moment? There's obviously something socially going
:24:21. > :24:29.
:24:29. > :24:34.on here. They are just having fun, I catalogued and gnome? Yes, we've
:24:34. > :24:38.been able to identify about 130 individual animals by scratches on
:24:38. > :24:43.the dorsal fins. We've got a pretty comprehensive idea of the population
:24:43. > :24:48.and the individuals in it. I often fantasise and think to myself, I
:24:48. > :24:53.wish I could be a bird for two minutes. But sat here, I've changed
:24:53. > :24:59.my mind. I want to be a dolphin for two minutes. Imagine being able to
:24:59. > :25:03.do that! I can't get all spiritual about these animals, I've got to
:25:03. > :25:09.maintain a pragmatic, scientific opinion, but the excitement of just
:25:09. > :25:14.being here and seeing a large mammal here, a unique opportunity. Yes,
:25:14. > :25:24.it's pretty good, actually. It's better than that, it's absolutely
:25:24. > :25:26.
:25:26. > :25:30.you. They are out there all around your coasts. You just need to know
:25:30. > :25:33.where to go. If you fancy a little bit of dolphin or whale watching,
:25:33. > :25:40.there are some hotspots around the UK. There's plenty of information on
:25:40. > :25:46.the web about where to go. Let's go to our nest cameras. Let's go to the
:25:46. > :25:49.jackdaws. This is what's happening now. There are still two chicks
:25:49. > :25:56.there, the other one is huddled underneath the camera. But look what
:25:56. > :26:01.happened early on. We are calling these Donnie and Clyde. Look at
:26:01. > :26:04.that, it is vicious. They come in and you just hope that that sharp
:26:04. > :26:08.beak doesn't make contact with something critical. But they are
:26:08. > :26:12.getting bigger and fighting back a bit and holding their own. What is a
:26:12. > :26:18.little bit, I guess it's a bit shady full stop look at that tale shaking
:26:18. > :26:22.going on. There is some pair bonding going on. These jackdaws practically
:26:22. > :26:25.own that nestbox now. There's just this inconvenience of somebody
:26:25. > :26:28.else's chicks in the middle of the living room, that's what it feels
:26:28. > :26:32.like. There's another pair of birds knocking around as well. It's
:26:33. > :26:36.difficult to work out who is who. We may even think there are other birds
:26:36. > :26:43.visiting that next box as well. It is the behaviour you've got to
:26:43. > :26:49.watch. We have done rock pooling. That was pretty good fun. There's
:26:49. > :26:52.another way the family can get a lot of information and bonding
:26:52. > :26:57.experiences and a very informative experience all round, and that is to
:26:57. > :27:03.go beachcombing. The best place to go beachcombing is along the Strand
:27:03. > :27:09.line, that line of debris washed up by the high tide. See wash balls,
:27:10. > :27:16.that's what I know those hours. The common edible welcome's egg case.
:27:16. > :27:22.Common whelks are carnivorous sea snails and found on every coast in
:27:22. > :27:26.Britain. They will actively hunt for barnacles and limpets, but they will
:27:26. > :27:34.also scavenge. I understood that each one of these capsules starts
:27:34. > :27:38.off with several eggs in it and only one makes it out. There's a bit of
:27:38. > :27:42.dastardly behaviour that goes on. Guess, the developing larva inside
:27:42. > :27:48.there is now a rich by the other cells within the capsule. Eats its
:27:48. > :27:53.brothers and sisters before it even said hello. What else have we got?
:27:53. > :27:57.Quite a lot of cockles. It looks like a spider crab will stop its one
:27:58. > :28:02.of those quirky and odd families of crowds that often disguised
:28:02. > :28:09.themselves with debris. Chris has brought with him some of his own
:28:09. > :28:14.objects. What have we got? These are quite interesting. My daughter would
:28:14. > :28:20.call that a mermaid 's purse. That is the egg case of a dogfish.
:28:20. > :28:24.Dogfish are the most common shocks in Britain. The egg case is anchored
:28:24. > :28:30.by the tendrils to seaweed. It's tough and leathery and can stand
:28:30. > :28:35.quite a lot of wear and tear, and last about a year before the baby
:28:35. > :28:41.shark actually emerges. They've changed dogfish to catch shocks,
:28:41. > :28:48.that's not very convenient. This is a common inhabitant on shore. These
:28:48. > :28:54.are the shelves of the clan. They are the oldest living individual
:28:54. > :29:02.animal known to science. Like trees, these shells can be aged by their
:29:02. > :29:05.rings. Chris and his team discovered a plan that had lived for 507 years,
:29:05. > :29:11.making it the oldest known living animal. I find it mind blowing to
:29:11. > :29:15.thing you can stroll along the beach this summer, during the summer of
:29:15. > :29:20.like, you can be out there walking on a beach and you could potentially
:29:20. > :29:26.come across one of these, and you will have in your shell collection
:29:26. > :29:31.an example of one of the oldest creatures on earth. I learned so
:29:31. > :29:35.much in my day there with Professor Chris Richardson from Bangor
:29:35. > :29:41.University. Just to recap, this animal is potentially one of the
:29:42. > :29:46.oldest animals on Earth. Not this individual, but it belongs to that
:29:46. > :29:51.species. To put that in context, an animal like this could have been
:29:51. > :29:54.growing when Henry VIII was on the throne. That is mind blowing! Who
:29:54. > :29:58.would have thought you could get all that information out of a shell?
:29:58. > :30:02.Also, it doesn't have to be a big shell full stop just a common
:30:02. > :30:08.cockle. Look where my fingernail is. That is one year. That is a growth
:30:09. > :30:14.ring there. One two, three and the fifth one at the very edge. I'd say
:30:14. > :30:19.that was about four years old. A fouryear-macro cockle. Amazing
:30:19. > :30:25.stuff. There's a whole range of wonderful wildlife to be seen,
:30:25. > :30:33.whether it's on the shore, Sandie Shaw, muddy shore, gravelly shore or
:30:33. > :30:43.a rocky one. I just want you to have a look at this. This is our teatime
:30:43. > :30:43.
:30:43. > :36:22.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 339 seconds
:36:22. > :36:32.our largest birds, nicknamed the flying banjo. First of all, let's
:36:32. > :36:39.
:36:39. > :36:42.meet the bird. It's favourite food brings it in. Here we go. Look at
:36:42. > :36:51.that wingspan and it just takes the fish from the top of the water,
:36:51. > :37:01.effortless, absolutely effortless. White tailed eagles have followed
:37:01. > :37:06.
:37:06. > :37:16.fishing was for centuries, so this is perfectly natural behaviour. You
:37:16. > :37:21.
:37:21. > :37:27.can hear its wing beating. Here he comes. Taiwan is out. -- talons out.
:37:27. > :37:31.This is the first time I have ever seen one fishing. I am not jealous!
:37:31. > :37:35.This is a fabulous place and a fantastic eagle and he is a nice
:37:35. > :37:45.bloke, three things. We have carried back with us but first of all, we
:37:45. > :37:45.
:37:45. > :42:41.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 339 seconds
:42:41. > :42:51.springtime butterfly. You might see on the underside, the veins are
:42:51. > :42:52.
:42:52. > :42:56.dusted with black scales, giving an illusion of them being green. We are
:42:56. > :43:00.going to have another look at a wonderful little shot, a beautiful
:43:00. > :43:05.springtime creature, the adder. That is how you see an adder.
:43:05. > :43:10.Immediately, you can notice something there. We had them on the
:43:10. > :43:14.show yesterday, so it is quite nice to think back to the grass snake and
:43:14. > :43:19.compare it. Look at that, my favourite sign of spring. Absolutely
:43:19. > :43:23.wonderful. We do not have time, I do not think, for any of these pictures
:43:23. > :43:31.we have got. But keep sending them in, we are looking at them, trust
