Chris Packham's Manic Street Preacher Springwatch lines

Help

BBC Springwatch presenter Chris Packham has been sneaking in Manic Street Preachers' song titles into this year's widlife series.

During the run, which was based at the RSPB Cymru's Ynys-hir reserve in Ceredigion, Wales, Packham managed to get in at least 25 song references from the Welsh band.

Keen-eared fans will have heard him explain biodiversity as a "Design For Life", while in another episode he described cutting through the "Dead Trees and Traffic Islands" to link to a fellow presenter who was in Essex.

It is not the first time the wildife expert has shoehorned song titles into the series - last Springwatch he did the same with The Cure songs and the year before chose The Smiths.

The BBC's Nature team put together a video of all the references.
