It's not being broadcast on BBC Northern Ireland by all accounts.

BBC Two NI at 22:00 an hour later because of the rugby.

Fantastic creature.

'Into the Wild with Gordon Buchanan' is on BBC2 right now (18:30 - 19:30).
It's a new series where he takes celebrities into the wild. I think there are four more programmes at the same time this week.

Great to have it back. That golden eagle was just something! Is it me or is it a bit later than other years? Lot of the chicks have fledged already.

No offence to Bill as I like him ,have met him birding several times, and found him well informed but the programme is much better without him this year. Chris has a better all round knowledge and less of the childish antics. If we could get rid of Kate now the show would be fantastic.

Bought a great dvd narrated by chris packham off the net recently called the secret life of the sparrowhawk. An excellent documentary about such an in many ways elusive bird. Fantastic shots of id say never before seen footage of these incredible birds.

anyone see Storyville:Blackfish on BBC4 last night

all about Orca whales being held captive in sea shows, i.e. sea world in Orlando

absolutely heartbreaking with tragic consequences for some of the trainers,

Saw it a few years ago. Yeah it will change your mind about keeping orcas in captivity. Distressing watching them being captured in the wild. Could you imagine if they tried that nowadays?

fryup · 06-06-2016 12:19PM

^^^^^^^^^

maybe they still do??

I'm not the authority on this, but I don't think they can pull them from the wild these days. Hence why they are taking the psycho whales semen for breeding. Poor sod. Interspecies hand sex.

Joe_ Public · 06-06-2016 12:34PM

Through great pangs of conscience and the noble instinct to simply do the right thing Seaworld made the decision to phase out its orca shows........(or maybe it was something to do with the fact that crowds were dwindling on the back of public shaming and its revenue was declining but who are we to be so cynical?)

Dolphins just don't have the charisma. But seriously yeah, not under any illusion about dolphins been hunted.

Maybe not Seaworld using captured Dolphins, but numerous Dolphins captured in Japan for use in Dolpinariums worldwide.

Watching it now and couldn't understand a word the guy from Donegal was saying. I still don't know what bird those feathers belonged to

No subtitles either as far as I can tell.

recedite · 24-09-2016 10:59AM

Dunnock and a swallow I think. The Donegal guy held back from speculating as to how the sparrowhawk would catch a swallow, which was good because then you feel confident that what whatever he actually does say is factual.

Here's a springwatch account. Still no detail though. I wonder would they swoop down from above and catch the swallows in flight? Or just raid the nests? The swallow is a very fast and agile bird.

whyulittle · 26-09-2016 08:34PM

Only getting to see this now, was expecting worse from his accent!

Song Thrush and Swallow IDed by him, and Dunnock by Colin.
