Nature Detectives

on BBC One London

Natural history camera crews join members of the public to investigate their wildlife stories. John Shaughnessy has one aim - to return a species of giant crickets to Sussex. The
"wart-biter" earned its name in the Middle Ages and now these endangered insects are being bred at London Zoo to support a declining wild population.
Geoffrey Wright 's aim was to record close-ups of his garden birds. He drew them in with a simple bird-table, but now has intelligence tests to keep them occupied, pulling out matchsticks to earn peanuts.
The cameras also follow Peter and Helen Scourse as they nurse injured and starving birds of prey back to health at their Welsh home.
Introduced by Chris Packham with Derek Mooney. Series producer Paul Appleby
