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. Britain's coastline is defined by the forces of nature: the wind, rain, sun and tides, which influence the lives of every single living thing here. Alan braves the elements to find out why our coastline is such an extraordinary place for wildlife. From the giant minke whale to the tiny snail bee, the elegant Arctic tern to the plodding toad, and the fastest seabird in the west to one of the world's greatest predators. Danger, spectacle and revelation - it's all here in Coastal Britain.
