Ed Byrne

Gordon Buchanan takes household names on a wildlife adventure. Gordon and Ed discover that you don't have to head to the wilderness to get close to some amazing creatures.

Gordon and Ed are in Ed's adopted home county of Essex, where they discover that you don't have to head to the wilderness to get close to some of our most loved creatures.

They head out into the streets in search of urban foxes and badgers and discover that an old disused aerodrome provides the perfect habitat for all sorts of creatures.

They are in Epping Forest on the lookout for fallow deer and Two Tree Island marvelling at the wading birds. They also find an unlikely inhabitant of the Essex countryside - the ring-necked parakeet.
