Spring /Autumn Watch live from the site ?

Festival ?

No Festival ?

Working at Glastonbury over the years I have always noticed how big and healthy the wild life looks . Your average Bullfinch on the festival site looks more like a small Parrot than a wild British bird . Blackbirds and Thrushes the size of crows Is this because of the extra food at festival time of is it something in the water . I have seen foxes who look the big and healthy, have they learned to live off the festival . 

At the beginning of the festival a flock of 500, I think they are Herring Gulls arrive at the site to suss it out . Not the city scavengers you see but proper sea birds . They are always the first back after the festival . They work in a team and are brilliant to watch they always get the better of the scrounging gulls who by now have now arrived in thousands .

With the Festival having a Fallow year . It would have been great to see the BBC investigate this . Spring Watch live from the site in the year off . All the infrastructure for live broadcast would been there . Also a chance to see how beautiful the site is with out anyone there . The viewing figures will go through the roof . Loads of little anecdotes from Chris Packham and Michaela Strachan . But it would be a very interesting wild life experiment . If the BBC get there act together it could be on for Autumn Watch . Then the following Autumn after the festival to see what the effect on the wild life has been . I am sure the BBC has thought of this with their wild life department just 30 miles up the road in Bristol . But if not there you go get on with it . After all the site is surrounded by stunning county side ie Mendip s Quantocks Somerset Levels and Exmoor not far . So what are you waiting for ? . A job on the series is all I ask
