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. Farmland isn't just part of Britain's countryside; it is the countryside, covering nearly three quarters of the entire British Isles. Join Alan on a journey through Britain's farmland, as he discovers how wild creatures can find a place to live in our fields, meadows and hedgerows. Discover how bumblebees are the key to producing the perfect tomato, why some Scottish sheep prefer seaweed, and meet the fastest creature on the planet - all living in our green and pleasant land.
