Britain’s wildlife thrives in surprising places. Rare bats share quarries with teens, water voles flourish in Glasgow’s parks, and seals populate our coastlines. Despite this, a quarter of British mammals face imminent extinction.
Join Tim Kendall and Fiona Mathews on an extraordinary safari across the UK. Equipped with binoculars, a Thermos, and an endless supply of puns, they venture from Scotland to the Isles of Scilly in search of rare animals.
Discover unexpected answers to quirky questions:
- Do pine marten droppings really smell like Parma Violets?
- Should we give squirrels access to family planning?
- What do wild boar have in common with a certain royal?
“Black Ops and Beaver Bombing” celebrates Britain’s incredible mammals and calls for urgent action to protect them.
