AS I write, Springwatch is half-way though the 2024 season on the BBC. I find a mixed reaction among my mates if I mention it, but I find it fascinating and, after all, it is about the wildlife and not the presenters. When it comes to wildlife and the natural world I can't get enough. I think you're forever learning more and that is fascinating and often thought-provoking.
The episode that got me thinking for this month's covered the serious demise of some of our once-common birds and brought the situation with the yellowhammer and corn bunting, as two examples, into stark reality.
