Nature loving Springwatch fans are taking to social media to vent their feelings as a beloved segment is replaced by snake scares!
Springwatch fans are causing a buzz on the internet! Monday night’s episode of the beloved BBC wildlife show left viewers all aflutter for the wrong reasons.
Known for its serene Mindful Moment segment, the show threw a curveball by swapping tranquil nature scenes for snake attacks, causing a flurry on social media.

The Mindful Moment has become a staple of Springwatch, offering viewers a peaceful interlude of nature's most beautiful and calming scenes.
But Monday's episode decided to slither down a different path, featuring an intense segment on snake attacks instead.
Fans were quick to voice their displeasure, taking to X (formerly known as Twitter) in droves.
One viewer lamented: "Did they drop the mindful moment for them snakes? It's often the only reason why I still watch the show. #Springwatch."
The sentiment was echoed across the platform with another demanding: "I want my mindful moment #springwatch @BBCSpringwatch!"
The digital outcry continued with fans like this one exclaiming: "What happened to the mindful moment!!! #SpringWatch."
Clearly, the sudden switch left many longing for their dose of zen amidst the snake drama.
A particularly distressed fan added: "Just had to shield my eyes for about 10 minutes to avoid snakes eating baby birds. Enough now! #Springwatch."
Another viewer, clearly not a fan of the new content, tweeted: "@BBCSpringwatch STOP SHOWING SNAKES. Genuinely anxiety and serious fear is a problem amongst the UK population let alone me! #Springwatch."
While the majority seemed to miss the calming segment, there were a few who found the snake feature fascinating.
One such viewer praised: "Incredibly interesting watching about our species of snakes on @BBCSpringwatch and how each predates differently! #springwatch @BBCTwo."
But it wasn’t just the format change causing a stir. Last week, viewers were already up in arms over Megan McCubbin's pronunciation of Loch while reporting live from Loch Lomond.
The pronunciation blunder was all anyone could talk about on social media. One viewer grumbled: "I love Springwatch but can Megan please pronounce Loch as it should be and not as she is doing, Lock!"
Another chimed in: "Can someone please teach Megan how to say Loch properly, it’s not a lock!"
Springwatch has been a beloved program for UK viewers, bringing the wonders of British wildlife into their living rooms.
With such a passionate fan base, it's no wonder that changes to the show’s format can stir up such a reaction.
The Mindful Moment segment has clearly become a cherished part of the viewing experience, providing a calming escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Will Springwatch heed the call of its fans and bring back the beloved Mindful Moment? Or will they continue to explore more thrilling and, let's be honest, somewhat frightening aspects of nature?
Springwatch continues on Tuesday at 8pm on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer.
