Chris Packham, Top Guy

[puppet]

Looks like Chris Packham is going to be the Scottish hill farmers new best friend. He even quotes the the NFUS line about right tree, right place. He criticises the blanket Sitka plantations with a barren habitat underneath which risk decimating hill farming communities because of generous grants. He also has worries about increasing predators, fewer ground-nesting birds and loss of species-rich grasslands currently grazed by sheep.
It is usually easy but hard to argue with him on this.

I thought the criticisms of sitka were old hat and well known and accepted.?

He’s right this time , too late for many sadly , been saying the same for twenty years perhaps he folllws me lol

 

[snarling bee]

I suppose he eventually has said something we can agree with.
I still can't stand the man though. Most of what he says is very damaging.

 

[delilah]

loss of species-rich grasslands currently grazed by sheep.

Is he advising his zillions of followers to eat more lamb then ? Because if he isn't then he still isn't getting it.

 

[Suffolk Serf]

There is still no way that i'm going to watch Springwatch.
He's going to have to try harder.

my friend down on the somerset levels, scared a lot of swans off one of his fields, a very annoyed pack up chris, emerged from a hide, he'd been filming the swans grazing, for several hours, and film was ruined, friend told him to f off, he didn't like that either.

 

[anzani]

Packham probably knows that dense Sitka plantation is too dark, dank and dirty for timber wolf habitat.

Law of averages? Had to get it right some time

 

[Treemover]

Isnt there a scandal about Chris and tigers?

I believe his partners zoo re homed a retired circus tiger.

It was well looked after and in excellant health, but they starved it ,photographed it ,and then claimed they broke in and saved it from a fate worse than death ,so they could extort donations from gullable "animal lovers"

 

[AGN76]

I was watching spring watch (I think) and they said he was 60. How is that man 60??

Surely that can't be true. Even I wouldn't stoop quite so low.

Packham’s Paper Tigers

BY NIGEL BEAN Without a doubt these are very stressful worrying times for the vast majority of people in the U.K. I think it’s a safe bet to say everyone has been affected in some way either mental…

You mean how has he got to that age without somebody giving him a good kicking

He was on a children's wildlife show when i was not even in my teens in the 80's along with a Mick Miller lookalike i think, can't remember what it was called though, didn't like him them either.

Terry Nutkins? He was OK, but the show was irritating after Animal Magic. Hyper, and dumbed down for da yoof, iirc.
Packham was a pain. Yes, he's older than we think he is. Makeup, and clothes, dahlink.
