Anyone that's interested in wildlife a reminder that Winterwatch start its 4 day run live from Scotland this Monday evening at 8.30pm on BBC2 and it's also available from dawn-dusk via webcam on the Internet and also via the red button on BBC TV starting at 9.00am tommorow morning. Winterwatch is also hoping to broadcast live pictures of the Golden Eagle as well.

I do wish Kate Humble would come back though.
Where are they filming from in Scotland?
They are filming from the National Trust for Scotland's Mar Lodge Estate in Aberdeenshire.:)
Ian.
Also like Martin's relaxing voice.
I have not watched any of the series since Packham took over, I can't stand him.
Me either, and I find Julia Bradbury utterly repugnant.
Me too. Dreadful presenter.
No problem with her, she has a good sense of humour too.
Seriously,I'll be watching.I love the Seasonwatch shows on the BBC.I wasn't a huge fan of Chris Packham at the start because I really missed Bill Oddball Oddie,but I think he has settled in really well and made the show his own.Chris is a bit out there himself and I like that.
I really did prefer Kate Humble to Michaela Strachan though.Michaela is nice enough,but Kate had real passion.I thought that made her kind of hot.If Michaela was any more lightweight,she would blow away in a strong breeze.
What is with the Julia Bradbury comments? She has never even been on the show before?
I dont mind Chris and he is very knowledgable, Michaela is a bit lightweight and I find martin a bit of a buffoon to be honest although he is harmless
I quite like them, too.
The cat wouldn't have been able to stand up against the Golden Eagle that was broadcast live today with a huge massive wingspan and a fantastic sight.
I always enjoy the season watch programmes. They are harmless and signify the passing seasons for me.
I enjoyed Bill and Kate with Simon and now I like Chris, Michaela and Martin.
As I'm a member of the RSPB and I'm also a member of the forums on the RSPB website as well, I've been lucky enough to have viewed some very rare birds at different places including the Golden Eagle, Osprey, Bittern etc. Also where I live in North East England we still have Red Squirrels and I've viewed them on numerous occasions.

Sounds great. I would love to have more time to get out and see more. I just never seem to get round to it.
I prefer Michaela to Kate Humble. Kate often spoke to the camera like she was listening to instructions on her ear piece at the same time - a slightly distracted delivery. Come to think of it she probably was doing just that a good part of the time.
I always look forward to the "Watch" programmes they lift my mood tremendously.
Simon is too busy catching burgulars on motion Capture Camera's see today's papers to be on the various Watches heh:D:D
Cost us £99 each!!!! Brilliant place
I agree. They are all good.
That Golden Eagle was just fantastic.
Why are they so endangered? Have they been shot in the past, or is it down to the stealing of eggs?
(Sorry, I should just google)
Nearly all wild birds are protected along with other wildlife, exceptions are pests and shooting of gamebirds although the Capercaillie which breed up in Scotland and is extremely rare is fully protected. Wildfowl shooting is another legal form of hunting. Of course there is still a lot of illegal persecution of protected wildlife in the UK. All birds of prey in the UK are legally protected in the UK.

ANYONE miss the great BILL ODDIE???
I like that excitable bloke's seemingly endless supply of Fjallraven jackets though
Haha I know!! He said it few times as well - surely after the first time he realised how bad it sounded!
Just looked it up - that's brilliant ha!!
