I think I’m going to enjoy having Steve on the programme 

I like his happy enthusiasm 

Me too 

Tons 

I saw Steve training for a mountain climb (Eiger), it was a show, can't recall the channel. His trainer is his wife, Helen Glover, Team GB Olympic rower.

Has Martin gone?

 

Yes 

Why?

They were going to drop him last year but there was a backlash and they changed their minds - having three white, middle class presenters didn’t fit the BBC quotas, allegedly.

After Winterwatch, Martin announced he was leaving - did he jump or was he edged out? I know where I’d place my bet.

Those chicks look a bit like those 1970 'minstrels'.

That's just s**t. I'm not sure Steve B is from a poor working class family tho.

 I reckon they’re trying to prove a point, and he’s only a guest presenter. One of three, I think.

They are so predative, you would not think so after watching Woody Woodpecker.

Look a white middle class weather presenter.

Kaytee posts some lovely pics of Richmond Park on FB 

I have recently come across some really interesting plant related information. I have done some research and I will start a thread for you to read it all when I have compiled the info.

 You get Spanish bluebells too but Monty recommends ensuring you buy English ones if you are going to plant them in your garden

I agree with this filmmaker - spring is a great season.

I like kestrels
