Bill Oddie goes in search of some extraordinary wildlife in London. Not the best place you might think, but he reveals some real surprises, including a herd of red deer five miles from Westminster, water voles living in a fantastic wetland in the heart of the capital, a prehistoric forest and one of Britain's best wild spectacles - the sight of thousands of wild Asian parrots flying in to roost in south London.
