Springwatch's Chris Packham clapped back at trolls to be more polite in pointing out mistakes on the show.
The TV presenter, 60, said sorry to viewers at home for making a mistake last week in candid moment on the latest episode of Springwatch.
Apologising, Chris revealed Springwatch inferred in one of the films that the horses chew the cuds and they were ruminants but they weren't.
However, the TV star took a swipe at rude trolls when he reminded people the show want to be corrected in a "polite way".
"We love to be corrected and I will always put my hand up and say, 'we got that wrong,'" he said.
"But we like to be corrected in a polite way, just bear that in mind."
Chris pointed out the little mistake had cropped up because of a mishap in the edit when the film was changed around.
He told viewers at home: "We have to acknowledge a little mistake that we made last week.
"We did infer in one of our films that horses chew the cuds and they were ruminants.
"Well we knew that they weren't of course, this was something that was a mishap in the edit when we changed the film around."
Amused viewers rushed to social media to back Springwatch over the mistake.
Also fans of the show were quick to brand the troll who called in the mistake "rude".
Among the sea of comments, one wrote: "Chris politely dragging the hashtag trolls <3 #Springwatch."
Others added: " @BBCSpringwatch how can anyone be rude to Springwatch?"
"Sounds a bit rude #springwatch."
Chris has been presenting Springwatch, Autumnwatch and Winterwatch, for more than a decade after he landed the job in 2009.
His high-flying TV career has always revolved around nature programmes, his most notable perhaps being children's The Really Wild Show.
