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. Our ancient woodlands are packed with wildlife - but it's not always easy to see. So join Alan Titchmarsh as he goes down to the woods to discover beautiful butterflies and sleepy dormice, a bird with a beak like a pair of pliers, and the mysterious creatures of the night. And discover the secrets of the central character in all this drama - the one on which all the creatures of the forest depend - the trees.
