around the corner, a live bird, a mystery man. Now, if we go back a | :00:29. | :00:34. | |
bit, we find that we have some mystery people here, some strange | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
people out on the veranda. What could it all be about? Let's go | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
inside, and inside, we have Michaela Strachan, Chris Packham, | :00:41. | :00:51. | |
:00:51. | :00:52. | ||
and I can just see I think behind there - level-headed Joe. It must | :00:52. | :00:57. | |
be Unsprung! Hurrah. Right. Here you go. Now, remember, Unsprung is | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
all about you. It's your questions, things that you've noticed. It's | :01:00. | :01:05. | |
all about the things you send into us. We throw in a few curveballs as | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
well, but we all start with the quiz, which we have all started but | :01:10. | :01:15. | |
Michaela will pick it up. We did show you the quiz on Winterwatch | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
just in case for some crazy reason you weren't watching! But what we | :01:19. | :01:24. | |
did was we took a photo viewers have sent in, mixed them up, made | :01:25. | :01:30. | |
them into a puzzle, then you had to put them all together and make an | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
animal. That was pretty straight forward. It's a grey seal. That was | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
obviously not the quiz because we have given you the answer. This is | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
picture A. What is that? Don't shout out if you can see... You can | :01:42. | :01:48. | |
all get in here. This is B. This one is tricky. Can we have B? | :01:48. | :01:57. | |
is tricky. Quite hard - any ideas? They can't see behind you. And C, | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
which - yeah, is quite tricky, but remember, they're all animals that | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
live in Britain. They are, and Chris is going to tell us something | :02:04. | :02:11. | |
very interesting about them. Can I just say where you send your | :02:11. | :02:17. | |
answers? Yes, tell me off. Facebook. They'll go through to Joe. | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
This is very interesting. We often have mystery pellets here, but this | :02:21. | :02:26. | |
has come in from Stephanie James from Cambridge, and she sent us the | :02:26. | :02:32. | |
whole story of her mystery poo pellets. Here it is. This is one of | :02:32. | :02:38. | |
those true romance things - "Look at my mystery poo." So she takes it | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
out in her car - "I take my poo everywhere -" slightly dubious, | :02:43. | :02:53. | |
:02:53. | :02:56. | ||
this, isn't it? She's tried to send Stephanie, here we go. Let us offer | :02:56. | :03:03. | |
it to the experts. Just a moment. Hold on. | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
LAUGHTER Chris is's glasss are broken, badly | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
glued together. They were broken during the week. They have been | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
superglued, so thankfully they're here. Let's deal with these pieces. | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
They're full of fur, so the first thing we can say is it's a | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
carnivore that has been producing this. The first, quite long. You | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
would need to pull that out and have a look at that. Stephanie | :03:25. | :03:31. | |
doesn't mind. Pull it apart. It's quite coarse fur. What do you think | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
it is? It's not soft and fluffy like rabbit. It could be fox still, | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
but this looks like it could be deer fur or something like that. It | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
feels coarse - when it rolls through your fingers like that it | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
feels as if it's got an edge to it almost as if it's got sort of a | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
section which is square or something. I think it's deer fur | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
inside the poo. It's old, so sadly it's lost any scent it might have | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
had, which might have been a give- away, then again, if this was an | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
individual piece, you've got to think about the size of the animal | :04:03. | :04:11. | |
that produced that. This could have been scavenged by a marten. That's | :04:11. | :04:18. | |
about the right size of pine marten poo. It could be pine marten that | :04:18. | :04:24. | |
scavenged deer. Is that right? think it is. Let's give him a round | :04:24. | :04:25. | |
of applause. APPLAUSE | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
I don't know whether we're going to be able to do this. You could | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
become a hair detective. Say you're out and find a bit of barbed wire | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
and find some hair in it, you can tell what that hair is. I don't | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
know if this is going to work. Can we give - let's have a look, | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
Royston. Bring him in. Have you got some deer? What's that? What do you | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
reckon that is? A bit of deer? We're not going to be able to pull | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
this off, I don't think. I can pull this one out. Can you? I reckon | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
even though I have read what it is on the front... Well done. I would | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
probably know because, look. Can you see closely? Look. There we go. | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
That's good. Can you guys see even from a distance what that might be. | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
Look at the colour. It's red, and it's bendy, and you can't pull it | :05:07. | :05:13. | |
apart. Is that right? So it is... Yeah, and it's flexible. That one | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
is flexible. And you happen to find it on our live cameras around the | :05:17. | :05:23. | |
corner. Any ideas? Red squirrel. That's it. So squirrel and fox - | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
you can bend the hair, but Chris, can you try and snap one of those | :05:27. | :05:35. | |
for us? Snap one of these? Senate one of those. Snap it in the sense | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
I am going the break it? Bend it. Did it snap? Hold on. That's a | :05:40. | :05:45. | |
brilliant demonstration. See that. It hasn't bent. It's actually | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
snapped. That would be deer. Deer fur snaps because it's brittle and | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
hollow. If it snaps it's probably deer. If you can bend it, it will | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
be fox or squirrel. This is badger, and it's elliptical in shaing, and | :05:57. | :06:02. | |
oh, you can't see that. If you try and roll it on your finger, I can | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
feel it. It won't roll because it's elliptical. I can see it. You can | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
see it flicking. Flicking because it's elliptical. It's not round, so | :06:11. | :06:18. | |
it's badger fur. We did it. We pulled it off. Do you want to tell | :06:18. | :06:25. | |
us a foxy tale, Michaela? I'll tell you a foxy tale. Sometimes we get | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
sent in footage of extraordinary animal behaviour. This is one such | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
time. This is from George in Buckinghamshire. Just have a look | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
at this. This is a fox in his garden, nothing particularly | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
unusual about that but look! The cat comes out and starts, I would | :06:40. | :06:47. | |
say, playing and chasing the fox. Looks like it's run away to begin | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
with, doesn't it? It's a bit of a wobblably camera. | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
Now the fox comes back again. cat sort of sits there, almost like | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
piggy in the middle, isn't it? they did play together. Chris, did | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
they play together? You know my thoughts on this - quite harsh. I | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
don't think animals have time for play. I think they're constantly | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
learning something that'll be an advantage to them in the future, so | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
when you see fox cubs playing together, they're learning how to | :07:13. | :07:18. | |
hunt, how to stalk one another, how to find their prey, how to be | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
dominant, how to express that. This is quite controversial. New | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
research into the neuro-science of animals shows some species | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
apparently - I haven't weighed it through, this research yet, do seem | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
to have pleasure centre, so not only are they playing, but they | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
receive pleasure, so therefore we could argue they're not doing it | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
for a behave I don't recall reason. They're doing it just because they | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
enjoy it, but I'll have to come back with youen that. I haven't | :07:42. | :07:48. | |
waded through - a gentleman sent me two books I haven't had a chance to | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
read. He's changing his mind now! That's what it's about. I am happy | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
to change my mind if it's proved correct. Thank you for that footage, | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
anyway. I thought you were going to say life's about playing, but no. | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
This is interesting - Simon Blackburn came through to us. He | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
said, "I saw a Queen wasp yesterday but how do I know it's one? By the | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
way, I am a pest controller." I would hope you would know. How does | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
he know it's a Queen wasp? That's really easy to answer because the | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
only wasp you'll find at the moment is a Queen. All the workers, the | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
sterile females have died, and the males died in the autumn once | :08:25. | :08:31. | |
they'd mated. It's just the females that survive the winters and as | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
such they're an incredibly - organism. They have the whole nest | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
in what are going to be fertilised eggs. Often they come into people's | :08:40. | :08:45. | |
houses and find somewhere dry to hang up. They often go into a | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
peculiar position. They have a hibernation position where they | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
fold their legs up into a particular pattern, curl up their | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
legs, and they'll hide behind the curtains or tuck behind the cushion. | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
Invariably you don't find them until the spring. I always leave my | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
windows open in the spring so they can get out. Lots come in, nice. | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
was in bed once in my attic and had the central heating on. There was a | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
loud buzzing on the bed beside me, turned the light on, and there was | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
a Queen hornette in bed beside me, which was exciting. Can we see what | :09:18. | :09:23. | |
one looks like? Here, a Queen hornette. There's a Queen hornette. | :09:23. | :09:28. | |
That was what was in bed with me. Absolutely beautiful. These animals | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
are fabulous to look and have a brilliant behaviour. They're a lot | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
less aggressive than male wasps because there are fewer of them in | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
their nests if they launch an attack and many of them are killed | :09:40. | :09:47. | |
that means they can't rear as many Queens. Have you ever been stung by | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
a hornette? No, I got stung in the eye by a hornette. I was | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
encouraging it to sting someone else so I could see! I was with a | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
brist brilliant entomologist. When we get stung, we're great because | :09:59. | :10:06. | |
we don't react. Unfortunately one of the hornettes got out of control | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
and stung me in the eye, closed my eye for about 24 hours in weeping | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
tears - of laughter, of course, and then it went down, but I have to | :10:15. | :10:20. | |
say it's very variable how people react to wasps around hornet Stigs. | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
Some people can react very adversely to them. It can change | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
throughout your life. The more I have got stung, the less I react. | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
Sometimes the more you get stung, the you react. Did it hurt much? | :10:31. | :10:36. | |
Not at all. It was so funny, we were laughing at it more than | :10:36. | :10:41. | |
anything else. A hornet sting is classified as number two on the | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
Justin O'Smu mitt Pain Index. This guy got himself stung by literally | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
hundreds of insects and gave them a grading of how painful it is. He | :10:50. | :10:55. | |
says - it's lovely - some of the things - hornets not too bad at all, | :10:55. | :11:03. | |
a two. They don't go up very far. The highest is the bulletna which | :11:03. | :11:13. | |
:11:13. | :11:14. | ||
is dramatically paism. The bullhorn Acacia ant is like someone fired a | :11:14. | :11:20. | |
pellet gun in your cheek and the bull ant is like walking over | :11:20. | :11:25. | |
charcoal with a three-inch nail in your heel. I was stung by a bee the | :11:25. | :11:33. | |
other day - I bought a pound of honey for �50! Oh! Could you move | :11:33. | :11:38. | |
us on, Michaela, to the wonderful Voleman. Tell us a story. As I was | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
saying before, we have extraordinary footage sent into us | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
sometimes and we received a call from Swindon, Wiltshire, with a | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
rather special story. This is really special. | :11:50. | :11:55. | |
This arm belongs to David Tray and in it his additional member of the | :11:55. | :12:05. | |
:12:05. | :12:11. | ||
household. Can you guess what it is 2009, walking outside his house, | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
David stumbled on what he thought was a male mouse. Unsure whether it | :12:15. | :12:21. | |
was even alive, he brought it home. To his surprise, it survived the | :12:21. | :12:27. | |
night. And looking closely, David realised it was, in fact, a tiny | :12:27. | :12:33. | |
female vole. So when I first got her, the only way I could feed her | :12:33. | :12:38. | |
was with this paintbrush with diluted goat's milk. With much love | :12:38. | :12:42. | |
and care, the vole grew into a healthy adult, and after nine | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
months, it heard the call of the wild. Not seeing it again for a | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
couple of weeks, David assumed it had found a new life with its own | :12:50. | :12:55. | |
kind, but on the off chance, he occasionally left out her favourite | :12:55. | :13:00. | |
snacks. On the 17th day, I knelt down in the grass as usual to put | :13:00. | :13:05. | |
food in the dish, and to my amazement, the mouse came charging | :13:05. | :13:10. | |
out of the undergrowth, run straight in front of me and stood | :13:10. | :13:17. | |
up on its hind legs, demanding to be picked up. I've never seen such | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
a thing. I was amazed, delighted and decided that it's coming home | :13:21. | :13:26. | |
with me because it obviously wants to. So why had Mr Mouse come home? | :13:26. | :13:32. | |
Well, of course, he was really a she, and she gave birth to five | :13:32. | :13:39. | |
babies that night. Mr Mouse, who's truly Mrs Vole, remains at Nut Tree | :13:39. | :13:44. | |
House. Chris, can you tell me - can you | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
shed any light on how long I should expect that this little creature is | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
going to live? How long is it going to live? How long is it going to | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
live that vol, Chris? In the wild, of course, they have all the stress | :13:55. | :14:00. | |
of having to find food and deal with their predators, and many of | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
these small mammals are designed to live 18 months. They get through | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
their winter, breed as productive as they can. Many of them have more | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
than one litter and they exhaust themselves. That's if they're not | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
taken by foxes or tawny owls. The average vole - shrews can be less | :14:16. | :14:22. | |
than a year, voles between one and two years. In captivity where it's | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
being pampered... It really is. will be really interesting to see | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
how long it does live. That's exhausted it, but it's had one | :14:29. | :14:36. | |
litter. If it doesn't have more, a maximum, I hate to say it two,-and- | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
a-half, three... Not much longer. But it's already done three years, | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
which is astonishing. Isn't it? you said, all voles, field mice, | :14:44. | :14:49. | |
about a year, but you know bats - same sort of size, a greater | :14:49. | :14:59. | |
:14:59. | :15:10. | ||
horseshoe bat - how long do you years! Amazing. Lynn Hardman. | :15:10. | :15:15. | |
lovely Lynn Hardman! Every year she makes us a super tea cosy. What do | :15:15. | :15:22. | |
you think it is going to be? Guesses from the audience. What | :15:22. | :15:32. | |
:15:32. | :15:38. | ||
sort of are -- are? An eagle owl! Thank you very much. This our idea | :15:38. | :15:46. | |
of crocheting, I can't... Stay there! It has been picked up and I | :15:46. | :15:52. | |
think we can reveal a brand new, extraordinary art form involving | :15:52. | :16:02. | |
:16:02. | :16:06. | ||
crochet. Michaela? Over two. -- over to you. Come in. That is | :16:06. | :16:13. | |
incredible! Did you do your hat as well?! That is extraordinary. What | :16:13. | :16:22. | |
do you call this? It is a mixture of crochet and taxidermy. Is there | :16:22. | :16:32. | |
:16:32. | :16:34. | ||
a real hare inside? No! There is nothing will inside? Not at all. | :16:34. | :16:40. | |
How long does it take to do something like that? This is tiny | :16:40. | :16:45. | |
for me. Probably two months or something like that. It is a small | :16:45. | :16:49. | |
project for me. I have worked on one single project for two years. | :16:49. | :16:57. | |
And that was for the Olympics? My goodness me. That is absolutely | :16:57. | :17:05. | |
enormous. How difficult was that to do? It was difficult to keep going | :17:05. | :17:10. | |
for two years, that was the main challenge with that one. Your | :17:10. | :17:14. | |
fingers were hurting? I had to put my fingers in ice at the end of the | :17:15. | :17:19. | |
day. When most people decide to crochet, they will do something | :17:19. | :17:29. | |
:17:29. | :17:30. | ||
like a hat, so what made you jump to wildlife? Art theory was behind | :17:30. | :17:35. | |
it, and then the animals came in as an accessible thing to use. Have | :17:35. | :17:44. | |
you always loved wildlife? I am keen on animals, especially my dog. | :17:44. | :17:50. | |
You seem to be following the muscle groups as well. Yes, I try to | :17:51. | :17:55. | |
highlight the anatomy of the Channel. I freestyle, and I start | :17:55. | :18:05. | |
:18:05. | :18:10. | ||
with one stitch and keep going. Have you ever crocheted a moth? | :18:10. | :18:18. | |
That is the enemy of all of your work! Seriously, what do you do | :18:18. | :18:22. | |
about them? It is a serious question. I think I have just been | :18:22. | :18:28. | |
lucky so far. Especially the ones that we saw earlier. I was in one | :18:28. | :18:34. | |
static place for two years, so it was a problem. A round of applause, | :18:34. | :18:44. | |
:18:44. | :18:50. | ||
extraordinary that we have noticed. Well, you have noticed it. We have | :18:50. | :18:55. | |
noticed some here as well. We are calling them frost flowers. John | :18:55. | :18:59. | |
Bingham sent in this picture. It looks like cotton wool, but it is | :18:59. | :19:06. | |
not. Their early form in the frost. Doreen Johnstone has sent another. | :19:06. | :19:14. | |
-- then they only form in the frost. It looks like a dog. We think we | :19:14. | :19:22. | |
know a man that knows what they could be. It is Euan McIlwraith! He | :19:22. | :19:32. | |
has been driving Winterwatch every night. Hello. Listen to those | :19:32. | :19:37. | |
dulcet tones! Have you got any idea what it is? Yes, it is a thing of | :19:37. | :19:43. | |
beauty, as you say. It is cold and side. The sap in the plans is | :19:43. | :19:53. | |
:19:53. | :19:59. | ||
expanding and causing small cracks. -- the plants. The capillary action | :19:59. | :20:04. | |
continues, the ice crystals form and expand, and they forced out of | :20:04. | :20:10. | |
the ice in amazing ribbons. Sometimes in a crack, you get the | :20:10. | :20:16. | |
former around the plant. It is a thing of beauty, and very rare. Now | :20:16. | :20:21. | |
is absolutely the time to get out and see that. Get out and see frost | :20:21. | :20:26. | |
flowers. Amazing. I want to see a time lapse of it growing. You have | :20:26. | :20:29. | |
to be quick because they disappear in the sunshine as my colleagues | :20:29. | :20:38. | |
have found to their cost. Thank you very much, the man that knows! | :20:38. | :20:45. | |
you will be doing Winterwatch Extract online after this programme. | :20:45. | :20:53. | |
Yes. Many of you have heard robins singing at night. Let's remind | :20:53. | :20:56. | |
ourselves what that sounds like, singing at night. | :20:56. | :21:06. | |
:21:06. | :21:19. | ||
to something there. It is not a robin. We have done that for a | :21:19. | :21:26. | |
reason. It is Michaela Strachan! Let's hear what she had to do to | :21:26. | :21:36. | |
:21:36. | :21:50. | ||
That was slowed down. It is complicated! We wanted Michaela to | :21:50. | :21:57. | |
do that, slowed down, because that was how complex the birdsong is. | :21:57. | :22:03. | |
The robins change their song. they change with lots of roses, | :22:03. | :22:08. | |
variants, tones, patterns of notes, which adds to the richness and | :22:08. | :22:12. | |
makes it more attractive to the females. I think we should play the | :22:12. | :22:16. | |
real robin, and then Michaela to see how good she is. | :22:16. | :22:26. | |
:22:26. | :22:37. | ||
WHISTLING. Very good! I think that I sound better! I think that was | :22:37. | :22:42. | |
artistic licence! That was a real thing, really! I have to move on. | :22:42. | :22:52. | |
:22:52. | :23:21. | ||
From a very small bird, beautiful, for bringing it all in. How is she? | :23:21. | :23:28. | |
Doing fine, quite relaxed. How long have you and Orla been together? | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
Probably nearly five years. It is quite an intense relationship, the | :23:32. | :23:37. | |
two of you. That comes from daily contact and building your trust. | :23:38. | :23:46. | |
The first time you met it was not love at first sight. No. The | :23:46. | :23:52. | |
hackles were up, pure aggression. She was not happy to see you? And | :23:52. | :24:01. | |
now you have a close relationship. Can we look at the talons? | :24:01. | :24:06. | |
Fantastic killing machines, like a grizzly bear. This is an iconic | :24:06. | :24:12. | |
bird of Scotland. Is she OK if I ask you some questions? I don't | :24:12. | :24:17. | |
think she can answer! We think she is looking at the beaver? There was | :24:17. | :24:23. | |
something in the river. And she is that alert! William says, it does | :24:23. | :24:28. | |
the golden eagle have a unique nesting have it? They tend to have | :24:28. | :24:36. | |
one or two alternative sites. They will move if the nest is destroyed | :24:36. | :24:41. | |
or discovered. Sometimes they are in more sheltered spots and | :24:41. | :24:45. | |
sometimes they decide where to build according to the weather. | :24:45. | :24:49. | |
There is one in America that is 200 years old, descended from an | :24:49. | :24:54. | |
original power. Goodness. You are very relaxed about her being so | :24:54. | :25:00. | |
close. Nine year-old Debbie Jackson, will golden eagles at the start | :25:00. | :25:05. | |
living in England again? It is very unlikely that they will naturally | :25:05. | :25:10. | |
recolonise in England. If that was going to happen, we would see | :25:10. | :25:16. | |
larger numbers in Scotland first. Just time for one more. This has | :25:16. | :25:20. | |
always fascinated me. How much weight can a golden eagle pick up | :25:20. | :25:26. | |
and fly with? There are lots of myths about that. Yes. People | :25:26. | :25:31. | |
overestimate their carrying ability. Anything heavier than five pounds | :25:32. | :25:36. | |
is too heavy. They only carry things when they are feeding their | :25:36. | :25:43. | |
young. They are known it to use height advantage to get a mountain | :25:43. | :25:47. | |
goat and came up for the nest. They cannot physically climb. They have | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
to aim at down and drop the mountain goat. So they would drop | :25:51. | :25:55. | |
down, hit the prey and carry on with it? That is marvellous | :25:55. | :26:01. | |
targeting. Thank you very much for bringing her in. Orla has been very | :26:01. | :26:06. | |
wonderful. It is a joy to see how big they are. Staggering. I shall | :26:06. | :26:14. | |
back off, not nervously but calmly! Michaela, would you like to resolve | :26:14. | :26:20. | |
the quiz, please? Yes, but I was a bit concerned when I was doing my | :26:20. | :26:24. | |
robin impression that the Eagle might come and pray on me! So | :26:24. | :26:31. | |
realistic. We set a quiz at the beginning of the show. We mixed of | :26:31. | :26:35. | |
photographs that viewers had sent in and we asked you to rearrange | :26:35. | :26:39. | |
them and tell us what they were. Did anybody get it right or wrong? | :26:39. | :26:49. | |
Yes, lots of people took part. Rebecca and Jane on Twitter got it | :26:49. | :26:55. | |
right. Tell us the wrong ones, if they are funny. People thought the | :26:55. | :26:59. | |
insect was a dragonfly, and some people thought the bird was a | :26:59. | :27:07. | |
goldfinch. Not very funny. This was...? That is quite easy because | :27:07. | :27:17. | |
there is a real giveaway. Waxwing, very good. A fascinating fact about | :27:17. | :27:27. | |
:27:27. | :27:28. | ||
which one? The waxwing? He is lost for words! They occur in | :27:28. | :27:32. | |
Scandinavia. We have spoken about them already this week. Maybe we | :27:32. | :27:38. | |
should not ask you! There is a more attractive species in North America. | :27:38. | :27:43. | |
It blows of the Bohemian ones out of the water. And does anybody in | :27:43. | :27:51. | |
the audience to know what that could have been? Millipede? | :27:51. | :27:57. | |
might not get it even when we rearrange it. Any idea? Some people | :27:57. | :28:07. | |
:28:07. | :28:13. | ||
got it right. Snow flee. I thought it was a scorpion fly. I saw the | :28:13. | :28:23. | |
:28:23. | :28:28. | ||
tail. And last one. It is a Chinese water deer. Well done to everybody | :28:28. | :28:36. | |
that got that right. Fabulous fangs. We only have two native species of | :28:36. | :28:41. | |
deer, red deer and roe deer. The Fellow at Chinese water deer were | :28:41. | :28:49. | |
introduced. -- fallow and Chinese water deer. Thank you very much for | :28:49. | :28:53. |
