Description
The Nature of Britain is the definitive landmark television series on Britain's wildlife: a contemporary portrait of the most celebrated, watched and best-loved wild creatures in the world. The ser...ies uses the latest in broadcast technology, including ultra high-speed cameras capable of slowing down action to a fraction of its normal speed, and the heligimbal gyroscopic filming mount that enables us to achieve rock-steady aerial shots of Britain's magnificent scenery. In the first episode of this landmark series on Britain's wildlife, Alan Titchmarsh travels from the top of the British Isles to the bottom, to discover what makes our island home - and its wild creatures - so special. From boxing hares to blonde hedgehogs, swirling starlings to swooping seabirds, and fighting seals to leaping dolphins - Britain's rich natural heritage is full of wonder, spectacle and surprise.
