Everyone has their view on springwatch, but if nothing else it does provide some talking points! Personally I quite enjoy parts of it, so I'll be giving it a watch. Does anyone know when the new series starts? The website just says May, with no specific date...

If Bill Oddie is presenting, I'll be giving it a miss!

I think it starts on the 26th May.

Yes AndyK that's right, it starts 26th May & is no longer in Devon (as the farm is for sale for £2 million!) It's now taking place in Norfolk.

Wild canon am afraid Bill Oddie will be presenting it, but least there will be Simon Kingdom & Kate Humble to watch as well, so if you don't like Bill, then just turn the sound down when he comes on!

I will definitely be watching it!

I tried to set up my own in my garden but the rats ate the blackbird eggs. Now the neighbours are cutting down another huge hedge, right in bird nesting time. I can't wait to move somewhere where hedges are admired over grey breeze block walls.

I'll be watching when I can. I'm hoping they will have it on iplayer so I can keep track of storylines when I miss some. Bill Oddy has his moments I think, although I agree he can be a bit annoying!

Why's that? He definitaly knows what he is talking about. I was a member of the AutumnWatch forum, and if anybody mentioned the words "Bill Oddie", everyone would slag him off.

He is a great person with a huge knowledge of wildlife I think.

Hey, I hope you'll all be watching it 'cos I'M on it!! Don't know exactly when, but look out for the item on Cattle Egrets in Cornwall with me and Gordon Buchanan (then you will know what i do for a living too, Jamie!)

I can't wait Paul! Hope you had a great time filming. Is Gordan the Scottish man who watches the foxes, one of which is called Jamie might I add

I can't wait for springwatch either, will be great to see what they have for us in Norfolk, a change of scenery but i will miss devon too.

yes jamie, Gordan Buchanan is from glasgow and did the fox diaries last year.

will look out for your piece then paul

I'll definitely be looking out for ou Paul! Looking forward to it! Please post here after you've been on in case I missed it, so I can catch it on iplayer

I'll be catching it when I can but my free time is limited and probably good for my sanity to do something different in my evenings - like put posts on a wildlife forums website - oh bum.

Bill Oddie is Bill Oddie. Although I have heard stories, since I have never met him I will reserve judgement until I do.

My kids will be watching junior springwatch so I will no doubt be updated on "who's hiding in the hide" - hey this ties in nicely with the thread on children and wildlife.

Well I shall be on the Beeb SpringWatch message board as usual under the name of, well, 'Skylark' - it's the fault of that very same message board that I signed up to various wildlife forums! As when it closed down last year I was at a loss! lol

and I will be there too under the name of.............yes you've guessed it.....goldfinch!

I think I am under there as "jamiewade94", but I will create a new account under "Jamie Wade", becasue thats what you guys know me as!
