"Springwatch" and "Autumnwatch"

The perfect wildlife companion -- everything you need to know about the countryside and the award-winning BBC TV show

As well as giving their personal memories of each star, Bill, Kate and Simon have also enlisted the help of the wildlife people who have helped them with the programmes to give you fascinating minibiographies of these species, allowing you to understand why they do what they do. We also go behind the scenes to see how the programme is put together -- with details on the special tricks that they use to bring live wildlife to the TV -- as well as Simon's special tips on how to get close to the some of Britain's more elusive animals. The combination of Bill, Kate and Simon and the wildlife of Britain has been an enormous success on TV. This book adds to this unique recipe with even more background info and behind the scenes stories to bring you the wildlife book of the year.
