Bill Bailey's Bird Watching Bonanza


Twitchers of the world unite! ...And watch Sky One at 9pm on Thursday 7th January.

As a birder myself, this is up my alley and it's great when there is a programme that can show the fun side of birdwatching. Cos it really can be - honest! Obviously not when you're standing in a crowd of grumpy twitchers in the pouring rain for hours waiting in vain for a small brown bird to show itself.

Bill Bailey hosts this show with a selection of "celebrity" birdwatchers in a challenge to complete various birdy tasks.

Check out the preview clip here in which our heroes have to build a hide out on the breezy Solway Firth to accurately count Oystercatchers (see the photo above; credit: M Holderness)
