Surely he can say what he likes on X. Freedom of speech and all that!It was a generalisation, and not so much aimed at Winterwatch, try his Twitter/X feed.

That was always on Autumnwatch which was cancelled this year on the BBC. Deer have never dominated the Winterwatches. Enjoying the programmes.I am very much enjoying this year's Winterwatch. It has come a long way from the tedious roaring Red Deer stags which dominated the early series. I also really appreciate Gillian's contributions these days. She seems like a completely different presenter when she can work on her own using her own style. As an aside, does anybody know which binoculars she uses? They look like reverse porros to me which is an unusual and refreshingly modest choice. As she spends much of her time looking at small, close subjects, I suppose it makes a lot of sense in her case.

Deer on Winterwatch usually appear as carcasses.That was always on Autumnwatch which was cancelled this year on the BBC. Deer have never dominated the Winterwatches. Enjoying the programmes.
Yes as on Tuesday night. Presumably not much else since we saw the Buzzard & Fox as they didn't show it last night.Deer on Winterwatch usually appear as carcasses.

Of course he can...Surely he can say what he likes on X. Freedom of speech and all that!
Even more Sikas, to the point where they rarely bother to mention what they are.Many more Roe Deer appearing in this series than Red Deer.
It's like all the old documentaries on the African savannah that would show all these birds around the elephants or the lions, but they'd never get a mention. I suppose if the camera is looking at a Hen Harrier then they're not going to mention the Stonechat you see sitting on gorse in the foreground.Even more Sikas, to the point where they rarely bother to mention what they are.

That's very true...But Twitter is just his personal opinions, you don't need to read it if you don't like it.
I've seen them off Scilly a few times (going right back to the Eighties) - quite a thrill for me then because they would often be mentioned in children's pirate stories as one of those sea monster hazards heroes had to evade. The pinkish floats are quite distinctive.I was amazed to hear all about the Portuguese Man o' War. I didn't know anything about them. What extraordinary creatures.

Quite apart from relations between male and female being not yet describable as perverted, these are two experienced presenters who have worked together for many years and know exactly how far they can go. It always seems a bit too teenage to me but there's always the off button if it gets too much for anyone.
