Mike Dilger - I've added a profile page for the ecologist and natural history TV presenter Mike Dilger, so feel free to fill in some of the blanks if you know the info.

I watched Mike a few weeks ago giving a presentation at the Bird Fair at Rutland Water, where he gave lots of behind the scenes info on working as a wildlife presenter and his career so far. I really liked his approach to it all, he seems really keen on just getting people involved and inspired by wildlife and recognises that it's possibly at the cost of people thinking that he's maybe too enthusiastic and even a bit crass Hopefully, he'll have a long career as he's definitely one of the more entertaining presenters...and he signed a copy of his Nature's Top 40 book for WAB

I shall meet him in person in Feb, so I'll let you know about him then.
He seems very knowledgeable on the 0ne show.

Well this afternoon, we went to a talk by Mike Dilger and I have to say he was excellent.
Great knowledge of all aspects of natural history, very funny anecdotes, very down to earth and talked to everyone individually at the end who wanted a chat with him, including me.
He's been to some very exotic places but gives British Wildlife the big thumbs up. He's survived all sorts of nasty tropical diseases from his jungle trips and laughs about them.
Personally, after seeing him now, I would suggest him as a good replacement for Bill on Springwatch.
If you get the chance to go to one of his talks I would recommend it.

I coudn't agree more Wild_Woman

I think he would be the purrfect replacement for Bill

Laid back but very knowlegable at the same time and with a few funny stories thrown in.

I always love his segments on the ONE SHOW.
