00:03Do you ever wish you could float
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined3
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedanimals out there with these
00:22superpowers, and more, and they are
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined7
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinednight you will know we have adjusted
01:04our mission slightly, not just to
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined11
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedface, in these pretty stressful
01:19times. Now I was tidying up the
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined15
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthese little egg -like teeth down
01:34the bottom of its long beak here.
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined19
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefineddefinitely did was have a bulbous
01:54organ called a melon on the front of
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined23
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedsuperpower. And animal superpowers
02:15are the same about programme
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined27
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwasp spider. A large species of
02:30spider first found in the UK at the
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined31
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthe UK. Occasionally we have seen
02:49tiny little toad let's perhaps
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined35
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedabout animals with superpowers?
03:05Pretty cool, pretty gruesome, but I
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined39
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedglue fungus, and it moves around
03:19canopies of hazel trees, by gluing
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined43
undefined:undefined44
undefined:undefined43
undefined:undefinedGillian, what have you got first
03:41down in Cornwall? Well, from a
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined48
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedas a fat store. They start the
03:58winter with 60% of fat in the tail
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined52
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedway through the winter. I think that
04:14is a pretty cool superpower. I
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined56
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedany out on your wild and windy
04:31winter walks, please post them on
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined60
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwe were focusing on metal thrushes
04:50for instant and some of those fun
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined64
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedinfrared. They are down probably
05:12after acorns, they will browse and
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined68
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthe New Forest though, we also have
05:31them up in Scotland, on the banks of
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined72
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedfantastic place for us to have our
05:55cameras, and earlier today we
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined76
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedit, there are all sorts of theories
06:15as to why dippers dip, and also why
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined80
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthese last night. He told us about
06:35their incredible life-cycle and also
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined84
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefineddie, and in fact 90 to 95% of those
06:55do, but not all of them. Take a look
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined88
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedto scatter her eggs. Flicking her
07:20tail, staring them up, nesting them
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined92
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthis is in fact the third time that
07:36she has spawned this year in one
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined96
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedreturn to the sea, survive and then
07:55come back to spawn not just a second
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined100
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedChris and others learn more and more
08:16about these animals, we do stand a
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined104
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedmysteries of course. Have a look at
08:31this, and I'm going to be quiet, you
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined111
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedto Professor Colin Dean at the.
09:15University of Glasgow and Professor
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined115
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedcertain depth in the water. If they
09:31didn't have it, they would expend
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined119
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedIf they take a gulp of air, a little
09:54tube feeds that air into the swim
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined123
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedpredators, keeping a unwanted mails.
10:08They are probably losing that
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined127
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedlook out for these fish yourself of
10:23course, all of our live cameras here
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined131
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthat? An ID guide to burping salmon,
10:46live in a river? Top stuff. We are

undefined:undefined135
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedJackson. Very sadly, and he has
11:03passed away, but he was working on
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined139
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedLochcarron is a sure sign that
11:35winter has arrived on the west coast
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined143
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined8 degrees. These unique conditions
12:00make it the perfect winter warmer
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined147
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefineddiscs and long arms adding a touch
12:31of vibrant colour to the winter sea
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined151
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedstars to filter feed by capturing
12:57plankton and other food passing on
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined155
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedmetre. Arms aloft, like fans at a
13:18rock concert, they feed in the tide.
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined160
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedhave superhero survival skills. They
13:49have the ability to withstand the
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined164
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinednew, awful, Moon, brings with it
14:13stronger tidal forces, turning the
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined168
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthemselves as a huge mat to the sea
14:35bed. The tight-knit carpet community
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined172
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedarch nemesis, their cousins,
15:07starfish and sun staff.
15:1587 armed star eats almost
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined177
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefineda head start.
15:42A head start. Brittlestars are
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined181
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedAbandoned. Should one be caught they
16:09have one last trick up their
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined185
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedThey may be small and look
16:34defenceless but they are the true
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined189
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedSpringwatch we introduced you to
17:07travel at the Beaver, he's back and
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined193
undefined:undefined194
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedtail which stores all the fat. It is
17:25not the only superpower and the corn
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined198
undefined:undefined199
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedpossible superpower of the beavers
17:39and that is to manage flood waters
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined203
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedhere. We got incredible views of
17:54them out in their enclosure in
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined207
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinednumbers here 27 beavers, now it is
18:13winter with the shorter nights...
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined212
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedsocial behaviour commits a really
18:29great to know that they are
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined216
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedsee just how busy those beavers have
18:48been since I was last here.
18:54Back in.
18:56Back in the spring this was not
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined222
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedto shore up the water but now look
19:13at how much work they have done all
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined226
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthat looks like it will be going in
19:30the next 24 hours, that will be
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined230
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedmarks. Without even seeing the
19:48animals themselves it is exciting
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined236
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefineda lot of number crunching and the
20:17team at Exeter University the
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined240
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedof water flowing through here by
20:3360%, and let's just think about that
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined244
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedbuilding their dams. The beavers do
20:51not know this, they just do this
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined248
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinednights ago right here, this Beaver
21:04pushing in the mud and expertly
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined252
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthe water in it during flood
21:21it is these ponds which help to hold
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined256
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedsame dams help to retain the water
21:30so plenty of benefits that these
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined260
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedsome of the challenges that we could
21:46face if we were to live with beavers
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined264
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedlandscape for their benefit but also
22:03four hours. I know mid Wales has
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined268
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedhedgerows and I hope the farmers
22:29managed to get their farmers off.
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined272
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedsinging at this time of year, when I
22:51was at home last week we had a
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined276
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedThere are a handful of birds which
23:21are seen throughout the winter, two
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined280
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedbut one of the noisiest is the wren.
23:44They are singing at this time of
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined284
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedFebruary, March. It is not about
24:03being loud and proud, there's no
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined288
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedbirds away. You might think, winter,
24:20a difficult time, you need all the
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined292
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedbreathe out, but the birds have a
24:37system of air sacs. Most birds have
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined297
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedspecial, not quite hollow, more
24:59honeycomb, and that means they are
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined301
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedexpand, they expand into the bone
25:23itself, and isn't that absolutely
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined305
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedbreathe in you can squeeze the bag
25:41and the birds go further, they
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined309
undefined:undefined310
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedbird which sings throughout the
25:58winter which I have forgotten to
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined314
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedare very specialist birds... they
26:13sing throughout the winter. They
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined318
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthat is a raging torrent, and there
26:36is usually a dipper down there, but
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined322
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedreally poor, but the dipper is
26:56getting exactly what it needs in
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined326
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedChris, imagine you are these birds,
27:15nine air sacs, and information if
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined330
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwould be miserable now if that was
27:34going on! I used to sing to you.
27:43Going on! I used to sing to you. Our
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined335
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedEarth. A red fox. Look at that. So
27:58statuesque. They are absolutely
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined339
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedone moving clockwise, they can move
28:18them 150 degrees which is pretty
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined343
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedstep further because they have a
28:38super power of their own. A sixth
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined347
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedto do a demonstration. OK. One of us
29:01has got to be a fox and one of us
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined351
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedand a light on a north-easterly
29:25direction and I'm listening out for
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined355
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedhave about an 18% success rate if
29:42they jump in any random direction
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined359
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedjump in a north-easterly direction.
30:04Remarkable. How do they do it?
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined363
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwhich enables it to determine which
30:21direction it is facing, so if it is
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined367
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthrough the snow, but through the
30:40grass. Look at that.
30:46Using those areas. I love this,
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined372
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedcan perceive. We are limited to the
31:08restrictions of our own senses which
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined376
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthe Earth's magnetic field to sense
31:24direction but also distance. Also
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined380
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedgrimaces of owls. We have all this
31:42in some tawny owls out here in the
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined384
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedtransforms complete darkness into
31:58almost daylight. Mark Tang Gill has
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined388
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthese colder, shorter days bring
32:31longer periods of quiet and
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined393
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedbarn and the tourney, it can be an
32:59uphill struggle at this time of
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined397
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedenvironment, which poses certain
33:17challenges, especially in the inky
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined401
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedtorpedo -shaped body and short,
33:42rounded wings allow for supreme
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined405
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwooded territories... These
34:07territorial birds. These allow them
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined409
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedvery different challenges to
34:41overcome. Even in dim, winter light,
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined413
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwhite owl, so noticeable in the
35:11night, stalk and catch its
35:17night, stalk and catch its... its
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined418
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedsecret weapon. The fringed edges of
35:38her flight feathers dampen the sound
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined422
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedtheir prey. Her bright white
36:05feathers actually reflect the moon's
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined426
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedbecomes its deadliest weapon. But at
36:33this time of year, with prey thin on
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined432
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedrabbits, in hard times. They can
36:59even turn their focus from woods to
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined437
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedand tawny owls, agile and adaptable
37:38masterminds.
37:47Talk about superpowers. What
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined442
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedaware tonight that a lot of South
38:07Yorkshire tonight has been hit with
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined446
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedreally lovely views of one of the
38:21reserves up there during the winter.
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined450
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwetland and grassland, and meadows
38:40and reedbeds. Now, to help manage
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined454
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedtough, extremely hardy animals will
39:04stop they are absolutely stunning
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined458
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedis the kind of size of pony they
39:20are, pretty modest, but like I said,
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined462
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedterrain, but they also thrive on
39:39poor grass, on poor nutrition, so
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined466
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthat help them do this is they have
39:54smaller ears, so it means they have
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined470
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedover the winter with very little
40:11intervention, which is just how they
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined474
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedknown as blue zones. It all sounds
40:31very intriguing but essentially blue
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined478
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthe area open, marshy, which
40:54attracts vertebrates, and birds like
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined482
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedmeans they provide this absolutely
41:16vital wildlife haven in some of the
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined486
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedGillian. That's very kind of you.
41:38X-ray vision, we have all heard
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined490
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedby all of that, I have to say, but
41:56how about ultraviolet vision? We
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined494
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedblurred vision. Here we are here.
42:13Now, humans have what they call try
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined499
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthat mean? How is that useful? Well,
42:41several ways, but in winter in
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined503
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedfruits, they are valuable for a lot
42:58of our wildlife because they ripen
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined507
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwhen they are seen in ultraviolet
43:14light. Now it's not quite the same
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined511
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthought with this ultraviolet light
43:34and sloes, we thought, does it work,
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined515
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedout, get the ultraviolet light on
43:55and you see that they glow. How does
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined519
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedhungry, you look down and you see
44:12the sloes, if you see them going,
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined523
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedRedwing, not only did it take a
44:31long, long time for him to get that
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined527
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinednight's miss Rashford that deciduous
44:55turn, and the idea of faecal
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined531
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedimportant nutrition for our birds
45:11and many of them growing hedges. We
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined535
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwildlife habitat.
45:31A hedgerow is essentially a man-made.
45:34A hedgerow is essentially a man-made
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined540
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedmost of those hedgerows which are
45:53flailed to within an inch of their
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined544
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthe woodland here with more woodland
46:12on the other side, it is providing a
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined548
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedmoving through the open field. They
46:32will be exposed to predators. They
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined552
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedshelter per say, hedgehogs will have
46:55to go through the grass and make
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined556
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedand aside from shelter, what do most
47:12animals need at this time of year?
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined560
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedof those berries, providing so much
47:38nutrients at this time of year, and
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined564
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedof the season the birds will be
47:57feeding on blackberries and
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined568
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwill be a holly and ivy, which will
48:15provide massive amounts of
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined572
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthey put in their beaks has got to
48:30count. It has got to count, that is
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined576
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedcoming to your pick and mix, what
48:57are you going to offer me in return
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined580
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedto get that energetic reward... A
49:19lot of blackberries for a small bird
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined584
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwere eating 40 oranges. Just with 30
49:44of these you would get the
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined588
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedare squidgy, look at that coming out
50:05there, that is absolutely prime
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined592
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedto eat the IV, gram for gram that is
50:28as many calories in this as there is
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined596
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedso important, gram for gram the same
50:56value in terms of calories as
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined600
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedand what we need is a qualified
51:16opinion of that whether we are going
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined604
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedsome snow across many areas and all
51:36parts of the UK have recorded lower
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined608
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedless harsh conditions, like this
51:51summer breeding bird which has been
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined613
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedsome very cold weather? Could. I
52:18can take you to the stratosphere
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined617
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedSometimes when that happens, our jet
52:37stream can weaken, mild Atlantic air
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined621
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedweather? It is still far from
52:53guaranteed, but whatever the
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined625
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedbird. Binoculars are best for these
53:10because they don't like you getting
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined629
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedaround the corner and it will come
53:31for everyone.
53:38It will, but it doesn't feel like it
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined634
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedtypically these little cameos of a
53:56place where we listen and engage
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined638
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedstorm.
55:18GULLS CRY.
56:08Timeout and Tempest but there is
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined643
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedlike to show you a couple of things
56:25we have spotted on our live cameras
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined648
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedafter... otter munching away on that
56:52fish we have also had mammal action.
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined652
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedtonight and we hope that you have
57:07enjoyed some of our animals with
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined656
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedin Kent we are investigating the.
57:28Oare marshes, a wetland area where
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined660
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedAlternative Technology. I will be
57:52looking at ducks in the city and
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined664
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedlive from ten in the morning until
58:15ten o'clock at night and if you get
undefined:undefined00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:15,296
undefined:undefined668
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedGood night.
