Unsprung animal superstitions and your questions 6th November 9:20pm on 09 Nov 2009 Hi all,
I have badgers visit my garden every night, one will even put his front paws up on my wall to the open window waiting for more peanuts. However they like to dig in the flower borders and lawns. Does anyone know how golf clubs prevent badgers from digging up their fairways and greens ?
Ideas for Autumnwatch 10:39pm on 12 Jun 2009 Please ask Simon not to repeat himself so many times during the course of one show!
A name for our extraordinary great bustard chick? 9:32pm on 02 Jun 2009 The bustard should be called Hope as it defines the future of this species.
Sergeant quits Strictly! Has he done the right thing? 7:16pm on 19 Nov 2008 The judges should be sacked (except Len) and John returned. The judges have the cheek to now call it a dancing competition whereas until now they have treated it as a competition to see which of them could be the most insulting, come up with the best put-downs, to be the most demeaning and downright rude, and much of it directed at John. It is no wonder that the public have used the one means by which they can express their disgust. Come back John, the Beeb need you to keep the viewing figures up and we love you for your entertainment value!
Clever Crows 9:31pm on 03 Nov 2008 Some fifteen years ago I was living near Caerphilly Castle in South Wales which is surrounded by a large moat and lake. I spotted a gull pecking at a large dead fish at the top of the bank of the lake which was on a steep slope. Each time the gull pecked the fish it slowly but surely moved down the bank. A crow spotted the meal, settled near the gull and walked towards the fish. The gull struck out at the crow, squarked loudly and the crow jumped away. The crow tried the tactic a second time with the same result. It then walked round to the back of the gull, tugged sharply at the gull's tail feathers which squarked very loudly and flew off. The crow then walked up to the fish, pulled it up the bank to flat ground and then enjoyed his meal. Sadly, no camera with me but a moment I've never forgotten.
