00:03As we sink into our sofas, in our
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined3
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedlook at that! We spotted this within
00:23the hour. And we really wanted to
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined7
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined2021 and look, no rain no, wind, it
01:09is dry, it is
01:112021 and look, no rain no, wind, it
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined13
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwant to cheer you up with some of
01:26that natural beauty of nature. Today
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined17
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedrain and very windy and as
01:45need of a home. It was pouring with
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined21
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedfor earth worms. But the little
02:03mouse, munching away, inside the
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined25
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedsett has emerged one of our badgers.
02:27Look at this. This is live here in
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined29
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedotters, the badgers, we are exposing
02:54the secrecy of the night. None of
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined34
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedroosting sites. Look at this. This
03:17is a shot that was sent to us by
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined38
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedof a tail. It is a treecreeper and
03:44it has excavated its depression in
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined42
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedimported the trees in the 1800s.
04:05Before that they would be using
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined46
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedin the trees, I would like to
04:26something that will test your eye
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined50
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthey're one of the few species that
04:49we have in the UK that overwinter as
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined54
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedplace to hibernate. Amanda, thank
05:19you for that. And if any of you spot
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined58
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedhas bounced back. It was confined to
05:40the south-west, where the larvae
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined62
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedplant that appears all over the UK.
06:02Now, a few of our butter flies are
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined66
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedyou a pound, not a gambling man, I'm
06:27quite tight f you could spot one, it
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined70
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedhard-pressed. Amazing camouflage. We
06:52- are going tolike at how beavers use.
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined74
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedAmazing. Now, of course we have got
07:20a man who likes his birds in Wales
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined79
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedtook resident. Not one or two, but
07:50six crammed in. You wouldn't want to
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined83
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedBack to you, Chris. If you have
08:13felted pods, you want to keep them
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined87
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedcameras which you can keep your eyes
08:34on from 10 o'clock in morning to 10
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined91
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedmixed with my natural history. And
08:56I'm not alone there. Richard Taylor
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816

undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedexplosive way.
09:19There is a corner of Kent that I
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined99
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefineddestruction eventually destroyed
09:52itself. In 1916, there was a huge
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined103
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthe Kent wildlife Trust. The factory
10:22fires have long since gone. But in
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined107
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedmen of the reed beds. The males that
10:43is. The females don't have that
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined111
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedIn the summer and spring they will
11:05feed on insects, but now they're
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined115
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedand that is the black-tailed gogwit,
11:32there is a small group on the
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined119
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedMales and efemales they're
11:53different. The females' are longer
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined123
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedbig pylons here I've noticed a
12:20peregrine falcon's landed and it is
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined127
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedperegrine tucks into its lunch. When
12:46a nature reserve is successful in
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined131
undefined:undefined132
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedreplaced by
13:29replaced by the herbivores, these
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined136
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefineddoes, with the lovely tail splayed
13:54out, wings beating furiously. Of
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined140
undefined:undefined141
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthe loss of one life sustains
14:22another. Oare marshes is proof of
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined145
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedpockets of them in almost all of our
14:55cities, so areas like that are
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined149
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedup, he saw these really primeval
15:16birds waking up in the early light
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined153
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedBristol. Silhouetted in the early
15:31morning light, they look quite
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined157
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthem they will find their long hook
15:53tipped bill to catch their prey.
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined161
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedoil in their feathers. They have
16:15preening glands but the edges of
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined165
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedspring. With the city as a backdrop
16:33the birds have made themselves at
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined170
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwatchlist, using the hashtag,
16:50because we'd love to share them.
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined175
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedshowy. The female
17:11like. A male mandarin duck. Very
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined179
undefined:undefined180
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedhidden, especially when she's on the
17:24anyone. All she needs to do is stay
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined184
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedname suggests. They were brought
17:39here by collectors in the middle of
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined188
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedbirds here now than in their
17:58original range in the far east where
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined192
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedcamera team went to Sheffield a few
18:18weeks ago and they were able to see
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined196
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedjoggers and dog walkers keep their
18:37eyes peeled they may get lucky and
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined201
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedThey're amazingly agile and can
19:07easily negotiate a flyby through
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined205
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedsince autumn. And they have a
19:46reputation for loyalty.
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined210
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedfrequently featured in Asian art.
20:13Courtship is ritualised with the
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined214
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedat this stage it's just for fun.
20:49They're practising for the main
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined219
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedstonker, beautiful. Insects tonight.
21:23I wonder how many of you have got
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined223
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthat contain just these hollow
21:50bamboo, which are brilliant for
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined227
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedidentify which bee has used it just
22:13by looking at the front door,
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined231
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedcat! You might have won with resin
22:35at the entrance.
22:37Cat! You might have won with resin
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined236
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthe sap of a tree. Who knows? The
22:50next
22:50the sap of a tree. Who knows? The
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined241
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedseal it off with a leaf. And then
23:07this one, if it is solidified mud it
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined245
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedThis one has blocked up the hole
23:29with chewed leaves. Worth having a
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined249
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthe Centre for alternative
23:54technology, of course, and it's an
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined253
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwhich creatures have set up their
24:16winter homes.
24:19I'm going to a tunnel that was once
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined258
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedout I'm hoping to find signs of
24:35wildlife moving in.
24:47It's like an underground treasure
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined264
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefineda Harold moth... herald moth, who
25:21typically winter in
25:29typically winter in cellars. You can
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined269
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedfood to sustain it all year round in
25:54here.
26:05Now, the holes were created to put
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined274
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefineda probe lens and we can put them
26:27right inside the holes to get a far
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined278
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedhole overwinter and they've gone
26:54into a torpor. The reason they're
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined282
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedcool and constant they remain in
27:12that torpor.
27:22There's another moth just tucked
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined287
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedhave to say, it's pretty cold in
27:53there, so I'm going to head off for
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined291
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedtold me it is a tissue moth, which I
28:21should have known because it is one
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined295
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinednot many caves I know of. We have
28:43the grey whale tunnel which is
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined299
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedcome from the River Nas in Scotland.
29:01Have a look at this goo... of this
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined303
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedotters. Amazing to get close-up
29:31vision. You can see the detail. I
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined307
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedForest earlier but we've been
29:52keeping an eye on this family since
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined311
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedare the cubs, from last year. You
30:11can tell because they have pristine,
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined315
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedhere. This is called rump biting,
30:32where it bites onto the rump, giving
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined319
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthe badger which is characteristic
30:50of what they do when they are
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined323
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedis quite remarkable, isn't it? Yeah,
31:16and again. Almost like a hedgehog! A
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined327
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedadult male having a bit of a go at
31:40one of the cubs.
31:54You can see that erection standing
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined332
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthat causes dispersal. But that
32:17doesn't usually happen this time of
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined336
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedbetween animals from opposing clans
32:40and it is on another level. It is
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined340
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedbadger. The first thing is the
33:01articulated jaw. They're rooted to
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined344
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedit is huge and it give it is badger
33:23a phenomenal biting ability and at
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined348
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedyour finger. The jaws are not to
33:44fight each other, but because they
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined352
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedto Cornwall to see Gillian. There
34:08isn't nigh fighting yet. It is only
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined357
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedseven individuals. Tonight we are
34:26looking at all the structures they
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined361
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthat in with large rocks. There is
34:47so much construction and twigs and
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined365
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedmound, they put tiny twigs in there
35:10and pile mud in and it becomes a
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined369
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedup stairs, down stairs and here is
35:32where they groom and sleep and they
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined373
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthey caught. This the same beaver
35:57lodge where we heard the kits that
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined377
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedoff and out foraging. Aside from
36:25finding what neck at this time of
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined381
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedbeaver pond is here to create deep
36:45enough water, if the surface
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined385
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedit is simple. They take the sticks
37:10and twigs they gather and try them
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined389
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthem through the winter. In the
37:34spring we saw the beavers in the
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined393
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedcourse now it is winter, a lot of
37:54this is happening under the cover of
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined397
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedstripped the bark off this one here.
38:13But it is not actually the bark that
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined401
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedbreak down this material. Up to 30%
38:34of their food is broken down by the
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined405
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedOccasionally when predators surround
38:57the fish, they start to form
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined409
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedhistoric county in England and home
39:33to Rutland Water reservoir. It is
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined414
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedto see fish, thousands of them.
40:10To see fish, thousands of them. Very
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined418
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedlies in sticking together and they
40:34gather in large groups and become
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined422
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedBecause, well, they're bait for a
41:09host of local predators like
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined426
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthey're devastating hunters. Jack
41:40has rounded up six cameras to catch
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined430
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedvery cold. But that's kind of the
42:05point. It is the first frost that
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined434

undefined:undefinedview of the bait ball. It is about
42:27five feet thick with roach at the
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined438
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedhunt in packs with one launching
42:59itself at the shoal. That triggers
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined442
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthey're absolutely every where.
43:36These huge trout. You can see the
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined447
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedbetter than ever. We don't know if
43:57next year's will be bigger, but we
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined452
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwinter. Isn't that fantastic? Dry at
44:24last. If you have been watching, you
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined456
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedand the snow is starting to melt, it
44:47is causing a few problems. Not for
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined460
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwould know we saw an otter coming
45:15out of the river Nas and eating a
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined464
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedIt's peak opens wide, it has the
45:36- elasticated gullet, and down it goes.
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined468
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedfreshwater, their body shape
46:02changes. I'm concentrating on the
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined472
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedhere and they're going to a very
46:26malnourished area here. Salmon in
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined476
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedbecause they are drawing out the
46:50calcium to rebuild the skull. Major
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined480
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedWhy do they have the kype? The
47:14answer is, to fight. They use it
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined484
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwe are the spawning ground on the.
47:38Ness. A huge male, shadowing the
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined488
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedfootage. I'm going to replay the
47:57last bit and I want you to watch it
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined493
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedare fantastic fish. We have live
48:31cameras there, so keep your eyes on
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined497
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedfor finding a nest easily because
48:51the leaves have disappeared from the
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined501
undefined:undefined502
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedleaves have come off the trees and
49:18they've been laid bare. So I'm going
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined506
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedclutch of four, five, even six pale
49:47green eggs, speckled with tan, were
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined510
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedusing this particular tree house.
50:23Which two are they? I'll give you
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined514
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthere's now a squatter in the nest.
50:47Its appearance has changed, too.
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined518
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedmagpies have long gone, so who is in
51:14there at the moment? That cozy ball
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined522
undefined:undefined523
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedhere? It's a large nest and you can
51:50tell even from here that it's a flat
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined527
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedbe a sparrowhawk's nest but it's
52:21not. It's that diameter! This is the
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined531
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedWe're very lucky in the New Forest
52:50as we have a population of goshawks,
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined535
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedmistaken because Witch's broom is
53:12often thought of as a nest but it's
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined539
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthat's what we're seeing on the tops
53:30of the trees. I haven't seen here
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined543
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedprobably got one! Iolo Williams.
53:53Look at my smug look! I've set up an
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined547
undefined:undefined548
undefined:undefined547
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwill be less than 200 notes! Thanks,
54:14Iolo. I'm going to stop it because
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined553
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedhave been going on walks and sending
54:32some fantastic images that we be
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined557
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedby snow. Chris, you're going to love
54:54this one. Are you ready? Oh! A male
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined562
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedreaction! You're excited. I think
55:26you need a breather. I think we
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined566
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthrough the trees, the snorting boar
57:29echoing through the glade and a
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined573
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthe woods with my thermal camera
57:42picking up all those animals in the
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined577
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedtomorrow, of course. If you can't
58:06wait you can watch the cameras from
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
undefined:undefined581
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwinter walk we'd love to see them.
58:22You can send them to Twitter,
undefined:undefined00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,816
