:04:48. > :04:56.literally, waiting for a train to come along and take my leg off,
:04:57. > :04:59.as it were. It seemed like it was a fortnight,

:06:17. > :06:19.collide, it can be serious. We had a tractor in the middle
:06:20. > :06:22.of a motorway bridge, trying to get past us,
:06:23. > :06:26.as we were in the middle. We also had a ride of ten children
:06:27. > :06:29.down and asked a motorbike to slow down and stop and he slammed
:06:30. > :06:32.on his horn as he came And the worst one, I had a minibus
:06:33. > :06:44.go into the back of my pony, cos it was spooked in the middle
:06:45. > :06:47.of the road and they would not wait. There was a lay-by there
:06:48. > :06:50.and they just wanted past, so they ended up going right
:06:51. > :06:53.into the back of her. But it could have
:06:54. > :06:59.broken her back legs. The British Horse Society says
:07:00. > :07:02.the problem is increasing. Last year, more than 400
:07:03. > :07:04.incidents were reported, including one horse

:07:11. > :07:13.Dead Slow at the moment, which is raising awareness
:07:14. > :07:15.and encouraging people to report when they have had a near miss
:07:16. > :07:17.or an incident on the road with a car
:07:18. > :07:24.or another road user. We are getting a lot
:07:25. > :07:26.more reports coming in, but I think roads are busy places
:07:27. > :07:29.and you have far more people trying to get to work,

:07:44. > :07:46.on the road any more. I think that is the stage
:07:47. > :07:49.it is going to get to. People do not think horses
:07:50. > :07:52.should be out on the road and my one has had so many bad

:22:23. > :22:27.Selborne was named after the help -- at Hampshire village where Gilbert

:22:41. > :22:45.journey to Africa, work-out what route they take and what threats
:22:46. > :22:52.they take on the way perhaps. So where has he been? Selbourne set off
:22:53. > :22:55.from the new Forest last June. By July he was in Somalia before

:23:11. > :23:14.of the tagged birds to return home. Do you want to hear? It's very
:23:15. > :23:25.distinctive it sound something like this. To have the locals heard any
:23:26. > :23:29.cuckoos. ? It is lovely to hear them, it makes you think spring is
:23:30. > :23:36.awakening. Hopefully will start to see them and hear them. Cookies are
:23:37. > :23:47.mostly in Africa because the weather is -- cuckoo are mostly in Africa.
:23:48. > :23:51.They make and eight that looks like the egg of another bird, they lay

:24:06. > :24:08.word has weather hasn't helped. Over the next few weeks I will be looking
:24:09. > :24:15.for Selbourne because I want to find out where he has been. I'm sure he
:24:16. > :24:21.is hiding there. Selbourne may be already back in Blighty but you can
:24:22. > :24:25.check the six other cuckoo 's on-air website. The lecture is here, so
:24:26. > :24:26.let's take a look at that weather. Easter weekend of course so loads
:24:27. > :24:38.going on. It's not a wash-out by any means.
:24:39. > :24:44.This picture was at Wilton, in Wiltshire yesterday. It's day mainly
:24:45. > :24:50.dry overnight. As it will be tonight. Maybe the odd spot of
:24:51. > :24:54.drizzle here and there. With the clear skies, temperatures will drop
:24:55. > :25:01.to around five Celsius. Where we have the clout we are looking at
:25:02. > :25:05.loads from 7-8 C. The best of the brightness for the south coast
:25:06. > :25:09.tomorrow. Sunshine may develop in other places, but there is the
:25:10. > :25:12.chance of some patchy rain. That is more likely to tomorrow afternoon
:25:13. > :25:16.and evening. Heavy for a time tomorrow evening and overnight.
:25:17. > :25:21.Temperatures in the sun tomorrow will reach a high of 14 Celsius, it
:25:22. > :25:27.will be quite breezy the breeze coming in from the south and west.
:25:28. > :25:32.Showers could be heavy for a time in the early hours of Saturday morning
:25:33. > :25:37.but, but for most it will be drier on Saturday and cabbages will be a
:25:38. > :25:42.bit milder, loads of 7-8 C. So Saturday is one of the better days
:25:43. > :25:47.of the bank holiday. The cold front moves away and clear size will start
:25:48. > :25:54.to develop through the afternoon it will be cool with the breeze. The
:25:55. > :25:58.breeze coming from a so fresh air through the of Saturday. The risk of
:25:59. > :26:05.the odd shower the further east you are. The weekend as a whole looks
:26:06. > :26:08.rather cool. Some cool air on Saturday, sunny spells at times,
:26:09. > :26:14.more likely to Saturday and Sunday and a little bit of rain as well. So
:26:15. > :26:18.the outlook, for the rest of the weekend, Good Friday, quite cloudy
:26:19. > :26:22.in general, sunny intervals here and there, rain expected later on.
:26:23. > :26:25.Saturday a lot of sunshine but a little bit of uncertainty on Sunday
:26:26. > :26:30.as to a weather front over the midline. It makes that its way
:26:31. > :26:34.South, but we will hope it stays in the Midlands and the will stay dry
:26:35. > :26:40.with mainly sunny conditions. That all from us, there is a new summary
:26:41. > :26:43.at eight and we will be back at 10:30pm as well. Thank you for your
