I've always enjoyed the programs, but do agree that they have a habit of skimming over the top of subjects and it's all rather cute and cuddly and seems aimed at children rather then adults. When Chris first joined he was allowed to be hugely knowledgeable about his subjects and as a keen bird watcher I appreciated that, now though it all seems rather formulaic and appealing to the kiddies.
Our static van is very close to Minsmere where they have been filming Springwatch for the last two years, they will be there next year for the last time. I have spent the last two springs prowling around Minsmere and the heaths in the hope of coming across Chris so I can buttonhole him about various birds, and perhaps just mention that adults do watch the programs.
