Funnies from Flickr

[Neil Rigby]

Note to self for next year: on the day before Springwatch starts, remember to buy shares in a variety of camera manufacturers. "There be gold in them thar hills..."

Yes, after its first week of transmission the Springwatch effect is in full-swing. Viewers have gone outside with their cameras and got snappier than a congregation of camera-crazy crocodiles. To take a look at the results you can visit the official Spingwatch group on Flickr and see the amazing results for yourself. Or, if you're pushed for time but fancy a giggle, then have a gander at a few that made me smile below:
