Bill Oddie's How to Watch Wildlife - Complete Series 2 (2006) [DVDRip (Xvid)]


BBC2, 2006

Wildlife/ Nature

Overview:

Bill Oddie presents a guide to observing the wonders of British animals and birds in their natural habitats.


I don't usually watch Nature programmes, but make an exception for Bill Oddie.To explain why, I can't do better than to quote an Amazon reviewer:


"This is a pure delight from beginning to end, a perfect mesh of personable personality (i.e. Bill) and subject matter. It is intelligent, sensitive, beautiful, even profound. I only wish we could have more of it."
