BBC’s Springwatch has been slapped with complaints.
On the most recent episode of the long-running seasonal change nature programme, viewers were up in arms after a bird was seemingly hit with a stick.
Fans of the show were devastated watching the scenes unfold as Frank Gardner presented a report on birds being illegally killed as one gamekeeper battered a buzzard to death.

One viewer was asked: “It was so hard to watch. Why did that evil little man get a suspended sentence when you had the vile little stain bang to rights?”

A second penned: “Awful, awful the suffering and pain I couldn’t watch.”
Meanwhile a third commented saying they were in tears: “The footage is just horrific. I saw it a while back and it left me feeling broken, physically sick, in tears and helpless,”
And a fourth fan exclaimed: “But these things need to be seen, nothing comes from being silent about the wrongs in the world. Keep up the good work exposing these scum!”
This comes as presenter Michaela Strachan appeared to brutally mock Holly Willoughby on the programme.

On Monday’s edition of This Morning (5 June), the long-running presenter started the show off with a statement to the viewers where she addressed the departure of her colleague Phillip Schofield.
She said: “Right, deep breath. Firstly, are you ok? I hope so. It feels very strange indeed sitting here without Phil.
“I imagine that you might have been feeling a lot like I have – shaken, troubled, let down, worried for the wellbeing of people on all sides of what’s been going on and full of questions.
“You me and all of us at This Morning gave our love and support to someone who was not telling the truth, who acted in a way that they themselves felt that they had to resign from ITV and step down from a career that they loved. That is a lot to process.”

Viewers online have been quick to make their own quips in judgement at Holly’s on-screen words as they also thought that Michaela Strachen took the opportunity to poke fun at the embattled ITV host as she spoke to the camera on BBC’s Springwatch.
Michaela exclaimed: “Everyone was on the edge of their seats watching that, how is everyone feeling?
“There is a lot to process isn’t there? Emotions are all over the place.”
