I have found these programmes very interesting - I think Nigel Marven ranks up with Austin Stevens and the late Steve Irwin for presenting popular wildlife films from around the world aimed at a general audience. |

I too watched and enjoyed it. Nigel is an excellent presenter and seems to be very knowledgeable.  |

Yes, I particularly enjoyed seeing the Snowy Owl (in the second programme, I think) looking like a giant ball of snow sitting on top of a tree, also in the programme last night, the first flight of the Albatross chick - to be in the air for next five years after growing up on its own on the island and only being fed when the parent bird returns about once a week. |

I think Nigel is a fine presenter too- very human with a genuine enthusiasm + good knowledge of his subject. I've been enjoying this series + have set video for tonight as I'll be out! |

Was able to watch both of these ...found them so interesting..I can remember the last time I saw the polar Bears at london Zoo many yrs ago..Can still remember how bored these beautiful creatures were they were showing signs of stress etc..lets hope they did move on to a better place...Freedom would have been nice...

Just as an aside I was watching Nigel on Sat evening I suddenly thought I was listening to the late great gardener/conservationist Geoff Hamilton!! Anyone else think they sound very similar- phrasing, voice, etc? |

I am looking to get out to Churchill next year from some Polar Bearing tracking.
We will be small groups on foot. Should be a fantastic experience. | | | |
