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. Join Alan Titchmarsh as he travels from the river's source to the sea, to reveal the beauty and spectacle of Freshwater Britain. Discover the real Loch Ness Monsters, the venomous mammal stalking the Hampshire countryside, and the unexpectedly romantic side of the predatory pike. Watch kingfishers diving, salmon leaping and a songbird that swims underwater. And find out why a drop of rain is the key to keeping all this wonder and beauty alive.
