What made it such an appealing and refreshing programme (and equally what makes this blog so refreshing to read) is that the programme was created from your thrill & wonder in encountering wildlife. Purely and simply the excitement of it. I’ve just come back from recording a programme for our Living World strand - one of those trips that makes me feel like I’ve got the best job in the world…
