If you missed the first part of the superb Tiger - Spy in the Jungle last week then do try and watch the second film on BBC1 Sunday at 8.00pm. It’s simply one of the best wildlife programmes I’ve ever watched.
Natural World next week is Reindeer Girls on BBC2 Wednesday at 8.00pm which is more about about the people and their lifestyle than the wildlife. For all that it is an engaging film with some stunning Norwegian landscapes.
Jaguar Adventure With Nigel Marven is a new six part series that starts with on Five Tuesday at 7.30pm. This beautiful, elusive creature is the fourth of the big cats, defined as those who roar. We’re used to seeing documentaries on lions, tigers and leopards but this series should prove both enjoyable and illuminating.
Saturday sees the start of National Pet Month here in the UK. Knowing that many of you have pets then I’m sure that you’ll be celebrating this event!
I’ve not mentioned anything ecological or environmental here for a while but PolythenePam has done some excellent entries recently on plastic bags and bottled water in her blog Leave Only Footprints. They make interesting, and sobering, reading. I’m proud to say that I try not to use the first and don’t drink the second as part of my effects to be a green Flighty.
I think that I’ll be sofa flying yet again on Sunday if the weather forecast is anything to go by! Anyway have a good weekend!

I wonder if the tiger program will be repeated anywhere on Freeview soon…
And I like the spotted cats, so will definitely try to catch the one with the jaguars.!
Finally, this weekend thanks to the welcoming weather, my Mum and I will be opening the boxes in storage to see what we can get rid of before I go. A task I dread.

How interesting that big cats are defined as those who roar. Learn something new every day!

Liv I’ll keep an eye out and let you if I see it being shown again.
So do I, especially if it’s a snow leopard!
Take heart. It may well be a necessary task, but also consider it as a journey down memory lane as well. xx

Nikki I didn’t know that either as I’ve always thought of cheetahs as big cats! We do indeed! xx

Hi Flighty - our cat Jess was glued to last week’s episode, so no doubt we’ll be watching this weeks en famille!
Enjoy the sofa - though tomorrow looks like it might be OK. The pears have ignored the good talking to I gave them in the week and have decided to blossom anyway. I’m off up the plot to cover them up before disaster strikes.
Have a great wekkend!

Thanks!
As for the boxes, I doubt you’d enjoy going through boxes of books you don’t want to part with….!

VP I always wonder what they’re thinking when they do that!
I’ve had a good morning on the plot today so I won’t be too unhappy if I’m sofa flying on Sunday!
Thanks , you too! xx

Liv you’re welcome! You’re right and it would take me for ever as I’d be down memory lane whilst doing it! xx

Mylozmom it’s cheap and comfortable with food, drink and TV of your own choice. What more could you want! Enjoy! xx
