I watched a programme on tv last night on BBC 2 The Natural World it was titled The Wild Wood. It was good but it was awful too.
A rotten bird took a blue tit mum and they showed the starved babes in the nest!!!!!!!!!
Natures cruel.

Yes, Nature can seem cruel sometimes but that's the way it is. There's another thread on this programme which you may like to read, Oceans:

I saw the programme too and thought it was beautifully done especially the dawn chorus.

How?

Anyone have any ideas as to how they filmed the Thrush getting the shell off of the snail?

The camera appears to circle around the Thrush...very clever.

Hi Oceans as all of us know that every one as to eat yes it can be rather sad at times , but yes that programme was well worth watching, the thrush breaking the snail was I think shot with a camera that takes 1000 frames in 1 min.

keep on birding.

But how did it go round and round without scaring off the Thrush? Technical things bother me!! (hmmmm....that sounds like a good signature!!)

Thrush on tele

ocean I don't know how they did not frighten the bird away, Ito am baffled
as I frighten a lot of birds off my table when shooting with my camara in the garden while practicing to take good photo's.
