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. There might be 60 million people living in Britain, but one-third of our landscape can still be classed as 'wilderness', virtually empty of people. Our mountains and moorlands, lowland heath and the Scottish Flow Country are some of the toughest habitats of all; places where life really does live on the edge. Join Alan Titchmarsh as he explores Wilderness Britain, realm of the magnificent golden eagle, a plant that fools insects, and Britain's toughest bird.
