Koko .............. Autumn Watch is a programme about how Autumn affects our wildlife in different parts of the UK. It's like a little diary I suppose you could say. Last year one of the presenters spent the two weeks on a little island off of the coast of Scotland watching a group of stags as it's their rutting season, and some of the film footage was fantastic! The camera crew get brilliant footage of all sorts of wildlife and nature as it prepares for Autumn. Last night there was such a cute little hedgehog on there! Lovely programme!

The beavers and the wild boars are absolutley stealing the show. The encounter that Simon King had with the family of wild boar was just magical! I know that boar can be quite savage, but the look on that boar's face as she studied Simon was wonderful. And their little piglets ............... adorable! Big Grin

I agree ~ fantastic, me and Paul are thinking of nipping down the Motorway to the Forest fo Dean and go for a walk.

The beavers are great and I just loved those Pine Martins

But what on earth has Bill Oddie done to his hair

The Forest of Dean looks beautiful .............. please take pics if you go! I'm sure you won't be boared!!

I agree about the pine martens ............... very sweet!

As for Bill Odie's hair doing an impression of an autumn leaf ~ well, what can you say!

I swear I could watch these every night and not tire of it! What a shame it's finished until the Spring.

The little bit about the stag called Caesar when he realised that he had enough actually made me cry .......... I just wanted to go and hug him!

I know ~ what a shame it's ended

What a way to end the show the though......... the tree being felled by the beavers

Oh well........... we'll have to wait eagerly for the 'Big Cat Diaries' and 'SpringWatch'
