The Black Robins were great and it was nice to see that Mark has the same camera as me, a Nikon D300! Very popular - Chris Packham has one too! :t: |<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" />|Edit: I think Stephen is a perfect addition to this, he (in this regard) is the average person who likes wildlife and doesn't know much about it. Mark and the other people can explain to Stephen, and through him us, what is going on without a clunky 'to camera' lecture. The way he reacts to these creatures is wonderful to watch too and his asides and narration really work well. Maybe not one for hardcore wildlife watchers wanting something very dour, serious and information-heavy but that's not what the programme is about, it's showing the average viewer how wonderful all these creatures are, how fragile the world is and encouraging them to care about it... and I think it does that brilliantly.Hats off to all the people involved - a very good use of the licence fee and the more programmes of this quality the better. :t:</blockquote>
