Bill Bailey tried his best, Alex Zane seemed to know a little about birds, the likes of Trudy Goodwin, even tho she writes a column in Birdwatching magazine didnt seem to have a clue. It is a great concept and would be even better if there were real birders on the teams..One task was to identify as many birds as they could on an evening at Rutland..the teams managed about 7..wheras any half decent birder would have seen at least 40 species...this may discourage potential recruits into thinking there are no birds around to see.....  Lets have a similar format but with real birders please, it doesnt have to be on a mainstream channel...lets have Bill Oddie and Lee Evans as captains....and some birding team members and lets really show the population that there is some great birdwatching to be had here in the UK....</blockquote>
