Springwatch

Coming up on BBC2 for the next three weeks is Springwatch. Hosted by Bill Oddie, Kate Humble and Simon King the series takes a look back at what's happened during the spring in peoples' back gardens, in the the glens and on the lochs of Scotland and around an organic farm in Devon. For more details visit the accompanying Springwatch 2005 website.

The main theme of this years event is spring and how apparently spring is coming earlier each year. We know this because of a branch of science called phenology, which collects data about the first sitings of spring indicators such as the first swallow, the first mayflower and the first frog spawn.

I urge you to watch it for the amazing views of wild animals going about their normal day to day lives. It's when you watch programmes like this that you realise exactly why you want to go green! So kick off your shoes and put up your feet and enjoy the best of the British countryside.
