Thanks - and now it's over to you!
It's Friday morning, and Autumnwatch 2008 is finally over - or is it?! The TV series may be finished, but the Autumnwatch phenomenon never really stops - as you've just proved if you're reading this blog!
So what can you do if you're already missing Bill, Kate, Simon, Gordon and the crew? Well for a start you can explore the Autumnwatch website and all it has to offer. It would take me too long to list everything, so do go and explore yourself. To help you, here are some links to my favourite places...
- Kate's goodbye, a lovely interview in which Kate gives her thoughts on the past couple of weeks...
- , a wonderful way of grouping your photos together by theme, such as ...
- Our video uploader, which is now up and running, and where you can send us your home movies of wildlife where you live.

- Finally, do keep on leaving your comments on this and previous blogs... we'll keep reading them, and update them so you know what's going on between now and Springwatch!
Then there's the natural world itself. Just because it's autumn, and winter is just around the corner, it certainly doesn't mean that British wildlife is shutting down! Actually late autumn and winter can be one of the most exciting times of year, not least because the weather is so unpredictable, as we've seen during this year's Autumnwatch.
So don't just enjoy our wildlife via the TV or web, get out there and experience it for yourself! Check out the - simply put in your postcode and it will tell you about all the events happening in your neighbourhood.
Finally, don't forget to have fun - the natural world is a wonderful thing, and it's all out there for us to enjoy. So go on - look out of the window, walk out of your front door, and see what you can find...
SPRINGWATCH and AUTUMNWATCH - not just TV series... more a way of life!
