I really enjoyed that, although the programme was too short and the bit about butterflies was too brief.

I had a peregrin over the house the other day.

It amuses me the way that Ray Mears has to show off his firelighting skills in every programme he makes :D

Me too :)

I like the show, its too short though, if it were an hour long, that would be better, but at the time its on, 30 mins is the best your going to get and it is on at a time anyone can see it. I was hoping to see more of the Adonis blue, especially the males uppersides more since that is what he mentioned at the start and is the most striking feature of the butterfly.
Cheers all,
