Speeding up time inside the BBC archive
|16:55 UK time, Friday, 13 August 2010
To celebrate the natural beauty of our living landscape we'll be bringing you loads of info on how our landscape has been created.
For starters here are some timelapse clips from the archive that shows how nature works on a slightly longer time frame.
Left to its own devices our landscape would revert back to woodland. Watch this woodland timelapse and see how quickly a woodland can grow in just one growing season.

The bites seem to have only one entry hole, swell up a lot and go hard and can infect if not treated properly. I never feel the bite, only afterwards and I have only ever seen what did it once - and then very fleetingly. A small black fly no more than 3 mm long. Now, before anyone shouts Blandford Fly let me add that unlike that species, this fellow bites you anywhere it can find bare flesh (I got one a couple of days ago on my head), it is active all summer long and there isn't any open water or garden ponds around here. Also, it is very quick. Any ideas?
