Hi Fluffy & Yogi. 

Do you think drinking 25 bottles of wine a week is excessive?

Depends what size they are!

Hi EC

Yes!

I'm guessing they are normal sized ones. £8000 per year on wine.

So, what animals are they featuring this year of Springwatch, now that it's summer. 

Check your log pile!

The falcon was gorgeous. 

I could do without the ants.

They are funny looking birds, but very popular.

When I was four we went on holiday to Dunbar on the east coast of Scotland. We took a boat trip round the Bass Rock where masses of puffins breed.....and that's where I first saw puffins!

I used to go to Dunbar when I was young. We used to stay with relatives in Midlothian and would often have a day trip to Dunbar.

Stoats catching rabbits and rabbits chasing stoats.

Now herons and Little Egrets.

Was that the place featured on a recent BBC programme which showed how they were trying to naturally 'relocate' puffins to another island using dummy puffins and puffin mating sounds?

I love the peregrine falcon

I don't know but Fluffy might.

I think Chris will be wrong about the Lammergeyer too!

We often see deer at the side of the road when we go on the M77/M8 to Glasgow

I remember hearing about that puffin project, but I can't recall where it was.

My instinct says it was somewhere in Scotland, probably on Countryfile or similar programme.

Right!

Where can I get a pet eagle?

I am loving all the birds of prey tonight.

Historically, Craigleith was a rabbit warren, where the animals were deliberately bred for food. Rabbits were wiped out by myxomatosis in the 1950s. They were mysteriously re-introduced onto the island in 2008, and some have been seen recently.

In 1814, Sir Hew Dalrymple purchased the island from North Berwick Town Council.^[2]

 

Craigleith from the East Bay, North Berwick

The puffin colony on Craigleith, once one of the largest in Britain with 28,000 pairs became endangered from 1999 onwards, due to an invasion of the non-endemic plant tree mallow, thriving with warmer winters, which choked the puffins' burrows, preventing from rearing their chicks, or "pufflings". A five-year project, SOS Puffin, led by the Scottish Seabird Centre at North Berwick, was launched early in 2007 after one of the Centre's volunteers, Maggie Sheddan noticed the ever decreasing numbers of puffins. Since then, hundreds of volunteers have been working hard to rid the island of the problem, ferried out by boat from the Seabird Centre during the winter months, when the puffins are out at sea. Initial results show that there are signs that the puffins are starting to return to the island to breed.^[3] Cormorants, shags and guillemots breed here. The Scottish Seabird Centre has solar powered cameras on the islands which transmit images of the puffins and other wildlife on the island via live webcams. Daily boat trips around the island have been made since 2008.

That was cool.

This is wonderful stuff.

It was

It's a lot lighter up here, than where Martin is.

At school we went on school trips to a place called Thornbridge Hall and it makes me want to go on one of the 'dusk' rambles and camping out in the countryside.

Sun hasn't set yet!

Lammergeyer

That was a very good programme tonight. Thanks for the company EC and Fluffs.
