The birdwatching comedian looks at wildlife around Britain.
This edition focuses on the Scilly Isles, where the temperate climate encourages tropical flowers to flourish in the wild. After taking to the water to swim with seals, Bill meets the exotic birds which take a welcome break on the islands after being blown off course over the Atlantic. Plus the stick insects which live in the wild, and a very special shrew.
