Presented by Bill Oddie the programme showed him as he visited six locations around Britain in search of a variety of wildlife – including birds, but also featuring sharks, snakes, dragonflies, badgers, bees, deer, squirrels and many more.
5 January Species seen: shore crab, pipefish, dormice, badgers, little egrets, butterflies (gatekeeper, red admirals, marbled white, skipper), moths (rosy footman, swallowtailed, scarce silver-lines) and seals.
12 January Species seen: red squirrel, mushrooms (razorstrop, Jew's ear, puff ball (also known as the devils snuff box), fly agaric and dead man's fingers), bearded tits, red deer, medicinal leech, white-clawed crayfish, bats (Daubenton's bat, noctule) and whooper swans.
The grey squirrel, being larger and heavier, falls out a special trap door in the feeder ("Should've stayed on the diet shouldn't you!"
When the owner of the café came and told them that there was an otter that frequented the shore there – they were far more interested in getting their fish and chips until the woman said, "Oh yes, he sometimes comes right up onto the beach – oh, there he is now......" and the crew and Oddie were out of the door before she'd finished the sentence.
26 January Species seen: plants (ferns, Buddleia, Oxford ragwort), ravens, mussels, prawns, intestinal seaweed (or 'gutweed'), shrimps, shore crab, breadcrumb sponge, Korean sea squirts, peregrine falcons, urban fox, sand martins, great crested grebes, black-necked grebes This episode provided insight into how close wildlife can be to cities and motorways.
Black necked grebes at Woolston Eyes nature reserve, right next to the M6 motorway, peregrine falcons nesting on buildings in Birkenhead, and sponges and Korean sea squirts in the docklands (no sign of Richard or Judy).
The ash cliffs created by Fiddler's Ferry power station are home to sand martins, and old clay pits support great crested grebes.
2 February Species seen: lizards (common, sand, slowworm), nightjar, damselflies, dragonflies (four-spotted chaser), red squirrel, sundew plant, smooth snake, Japanese sika deer What seems to make this series so fresh is that Oddie seems to learning along the way.
9 February Species seen: flowers (viper's bugloss, birds-foot trefoil, restharrow, hedge woundwort, marsh cinquefoil), toads, sandhoppers, water vole, puffins, Arctic terns, kittiwakes, shags and guillemots.
A trip to the Farne Islands brings Oddie close to an Arctic tern colony as they divebomb him and peck at his baseball cap and camera lens.
The first show sees Oddie in the discovering tropical flowers, bizarre creatures that glow in the dark, exotic birds and stick insects.
