I think you have to accept that this is more in the realm of an entertainment program, rather than a natural history program.However, as HelenElizabeth just pointed out... for Joe Bloggs on the street, it's a VERY good introduction to the world of bird watching, and for that, it is a breath of fresh air. If it even encourages just one person to go out there and see these things for themselves, then it's brilliant in my book.Admittedly, the producers will be more interested in ratings than they will be in encouraging people to take an interest in the natural world, but hey, if it works, it works.I like the drawing challenge in particular... it encourages people to pay attention to what they are seeing, the defining points for identification, etc... very clever, i thought.Big thumbs up from me (And no, not because I just happen to work for Sky!)</blockquote>
