A series about animals - in close-up, in action, and in our lives-introduced by Tony Soper and Dodo Humphries
Today's edition includes a report on the fertile waters of the Humboldt Current off South America which provides a living for millions of sea birds: now man hunts anchovies, tunas and whales there and the situation is not so happy for the pelicans
Robert Gillmor joins Tony Soper looking for birds to draw on a journey up the River Tamar. The programme also includes advice on how to keep your tortoise alive (thousands of tortoises and terrapins die in the winter); and a close look at the curious world of flower animals
