REVIEW
by Gary Rose
Channel 5 loves shows about bully bailiffs and loony landlords, but tonight there’s an eviction of a different kind, as owl couple Geronimo and Flo are ousted from their nest… by a squirrel. Who’d have thought they’d lose that battle? Elsewhere, there’s an insight into owl physiology, as we see how they perform their celebrated 270-degree head-rotation trick, and learn why their hearing is ten times as sensitive as a human’s.

Robert Lindsay’s narration gives the birds such human characteristics that you half expect him to start doing their voices, Johnny Morris-style. But this gently informative “reality show” looks great and is a welcome change of pace for Saturday night.
SUMMARY
The second of two programmes in which cameras follow the lives of owls living in rural Essex on a former First World War airfield. Missing Claw and Stripetail now have three chicks, who must learn how to fly, hunt and pounce. Meanwhile, five tawny owl chicks arrive from a local wildlife centre.

yeah saddo that bloke on springwatch with the dodgy eyes is random as you like.the one where he started going off about fokke dive bombers amused me.

The owl documentary was brilliant, I loved it.
