Saving Species

Available for over a year

27/40 We're planning this programme to be full of geese. The UK is a wonderland for wintering wildfowl and it's the spectacle of wintering geese we want to focus on in this programme. We're planning to be in Norfolk with Joanna Pinnock and Pink Footed Geese and Islay with Michael Scott edging ever closer to Greenland-White Front Geese and Barnacle Geese. The conservation of these birds is a great saving species success story which links the UK with the Arctic and the geese, with other wildfowl, provide one of the great animal spectacles of the world. And we'll be there.
