Note to self for next year: on the day before Springwatch starts, remember to buy shares in a variety of camera manufacturers. "There be gold in them thar hills..."

Yes, after its first week of transmission the Springwatch effect is in full-swing. Viewers have gone outside with their cameras and got snappier than a congregation of camera-crazy crocodiles. To take a look at the results you can visit the official Spingwatch group on Flickr and see the amazing results for yourself. Or, if you're pushed for time but fancy a giggle, then have a gander at a few that made me smile below:

First up, a squirrel so scared that he's gone white with fear...

I knew that hedgehogs liked snails. I didn't realise they liked them enough to share their food with them...

Does anyone else think this great tit looks like he's just about to introduce his own natural history film?

"Frog soup, anyone?" I can't quite work out where one frog starts and another begins...

Chris Packham thought these two grey heron chicks were the 'punkest' birds he'd ever seen:

This little one looks like he's not going to stop eating until he's gobbled down most of his father!

    Thank you, Chris, for validating the nettles in our garden with such enthusiasm; but how come you didn't get stung?

    It has to be said that just when you thought Springwatch could not get any better - It does! The format this year makes for riveting viewing, more people are involved and all are interesting, the interaction tween Kate and Chris is brilliant,as is the input from just about everybody involved, the general content has in my Umble opinion grown tremendously, and as such is now unpredictable - you never know what is coming next, and I for one cannot get enough of not only the program but the website too - absolutely fabulous!
    Heartiest congratulations to all of the SWT - you have an award winning format/series
