    To the Manor Born 12/9/2017 on Drama

    I believe that the Tuesday 12 September replay of past 'To the Manor Born' episodes on Drama (Freeview Channel) is the achingly charming one where bee-eaters come to breed in the village and Audrey Fforbes-Hamilton and her ilk staff a watchpoint, much to the chagrin of local bee-keepers. On at...

    Black Rats to be eliminated on the Shiants

    As an environmental historian I see animals as not just biological entities, but also rich socio-cultural historical documents. Granted my UGs sometimes struggle to see a rabbit or a tiger as an historical document, but at the heart of my fledgling discipline is this investigation of the...

    Urban Birder on Countryfile

    I know and have worked with David, and admire him. However, I am also keenly aware that by taking the moniker of 'The Urban Birder' he has backed himself into a cul-de-sac. He is beginning to sound like a one-trick pony. There are only so many talks, TV snippets, magazine columns or features...

    Birds Britannia repeated 2011

    Not sure about DVDs of the series. I will ask Stephen Moss about the likelihood of that happening. BBC4 and the NHU have been pleasantly surprised at the positive public response to the series 'Birds Britannia'. There is some talk of a possible sequel called 'Beasts Britannia' (a...

    Readers of various eNGO magazines (such as RSPB 'Birds' magazine) will see that NHU producer Stephen Moss is working on a new 4-part series called 'Birds Britannia' for BBC4, due to be broadcast in late October/November, I think.
