A series of wild-life programmes
Introduced by Peter Scott
The flat countryside of Holland, crisscrossed with waterways, produces a rich variety of bird-life. Field-Marshal Viscount Alanbrooke has visited the country on many occasions, and his films, combined with those of another wild-life photographer, Niall Rankin, highlight one of the few breeding colonies of Spoonbills and the curious courtship display of Ruffs.
