Its veteran presenters have travelled the length and breadth of the British Isles, venturing far and wide with their microphones to immerse the listener and capture the excitement of getting close to nature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHosted by Lionel Kelleway, Brett Westwood, Peter France and Michael Scott, these 15 archive episodes are hand-picked by Lindsey Chapman, who also gives an introduction to each one, bringing us up to date on developments since the initial broadcast. Recorded on location in some very special places, from South Harris in the Outer Hebrides to the River Exe in Devon, the programmes all feature guest experts with specialist knowledge of the local environment and its flora and fauna.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGuiding our presenters through a particular habitat, they discuss the species who have made it their home, and set out to track them down. While a quest to find the great yellow bumblebee proves problematic, they revel in seeing a hen harrier on the wing; encounter the world's largest slug; experience a remarkable raven roost and catch a rare glimpse of wild boar. Plus, they discover the biology behind pigeon migration; learn why jays are key to the rejuvenation of the UK's forests and take a timeline walk from sea edge to dry land along Dungeness' shifting shingles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFull of amazing sights, sounds and stories, this specially curated collection will take you on an awe-inspiring journey through Britain's natural world, and encourage you to embark on your own wildlife adventures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eProduction credits\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProduced by Andrew Dawes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eEpisode guide\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFirst broadcast on BBC Radio 4 on the following dates:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Machair of the Western Isles \u003c\/i\u003e10 June 2018\u003cbr\u003ePresented by Brett Westwood with Martin Scott\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eCatch the Pigeon\u003c\/i\u003e 17 June 2018\u003cbr\u003ePresented by Lionel Kelleway with Chris Armstrong\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eWoolston Eyes\u003c\/i\u003e 24 June 2018\u003cbr\u003ePresented by Lionel Kelleway with Brian Martin\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBlackbirds\u003c\/i\u003e 1 July 2018\u003cbr\u003ePresented by Lionel Kelleway with Will Cresswell\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHen Harrier\u003c\/i\u003e 23 September 2018\u003cbr\u003ePresented by Brett Westwood wth Iolo Williams\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe World's Largest Slug\u003c\/i\u003e 30 September 2018\u003cbr\u003ePresented by Lionel Kelleway with John Walters\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eUnderwater Architects\u003c\/i\u003e 7 October 2018\u003cbr\u003ePresented by Lionel Kelleway with Ian Wallace\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Oak Tree Planters\u003c\/i\u003e 14 October 2018\u003cbr\u003ePresented by Brett Westwood with John Tulley\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eDungeness\u003c\/i\u003e 21 October 2018\u003cbr\u003ePresented by Peter France with Erica Towner and David Harper\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAvocet\u003c\/i\u003e 9 December 2018\u003cbr\u003ePresented by Lionel Kelleway with Malcom Davies\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eCaledonian Pine Forest\u003c\/i\u003e 16 December 2018\u003cbr\u003ePresented by Lionel Kelleway with Roy Dennis\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eWinter Ravens\u003c\/i\u003e 23 December 2018\u003cbr\u003ePresented by Lionel Kelleway with Leo Smith and Tom Wall\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eWild Boar\u003c\/i\u003e 30 December 2018\u003cbr\u003ePresented by Lionel Kelleway with Dr Martin Goulding\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Green Isle\u003c\/i\u003e 3 March 2019\u003cbr\u003ePresented by Michael Scott with Dave Dick and Peter Moore\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eStoats\u003c\/i\u003e 11 March 2019\u003cbr\u003ePresented by Lionel Kelleway with Robbie MacDonald and Becky Wright\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e© 2022 BBC Studios Distribution Ltd.
