Watched your segment with excited anticipation but like the others I didn't feel they gave you long enough. However, we have to remember they do get lots and lots of clips and photo's sent in so the fact that yours was chosen out of possibly thousands was more than lucky.I wish they had explained a little more about cross species parenting but never mind. I enjoyed seeing your name up there on my telly and don't forget it was seen by probably millions of viewers, I have only been on local news giving my opinion of our local hospital hygiene! If you are happy with what they did then that is fine. 
Great footage of Robin and Blackbird don't they just love meal worms!!
Picking up on this Kathy, I was on telly alot in my late teen's, I had a 3 month contract with Hollyoaks when I was 17 fresh out of school, I was an actor (probably be a shock to most of you)
I'll post a little picture below of me going over my lines with Ricky Whittle he played the police man on hollyoaks "Calvin" for many years.
Believe it or not I played a "thug"
and at time my 3 month contract was basically a yearly wage of someone, Hollyoaks made me land alot of roles in the west end, I did beauty and the beast and chicago the musical, I did alot of advert work everything was going great then my auntie was murdered, And my world turned upside down. My acting agent was calling with jobs and I wasn't interested at all in the end the calls stopped coming, I turned down another 6 month contract with Hollyoaks in 2010 which now I regret massively now, But being on set learning lines and being on TV acting normal when you've just had someone so close to you murdered just wasn't going to happen in my head.
And now at 30, My old agent is always in contact with me and wants me back on his books but I think, Am good enough for tv acting anymore? am I good looking enough? Do I still have what I had in my teens "talent" wise.
So springwatch for me was never about being on "telly" Springwatch for me was just being able to show what I love and a bigger range of people seeing my footage!
Sorry for sharing my little life story of my acting, I have all the footage on discs somewhere in storage to show my kids in years to come I was a "cool dad" haha so hopefully you all know now it was never about just being on TV for me so that is why I am happy with the feature.
Anyway here is 17 year old paul with his wog head going over lines with Ricky Whittle at hollyoaks.
