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

On the final stage of his tour, Connolly reaches Edinburgh. Here he reminisces about a Festival appearance somewhat earlier in his career when he queued in the rain to perform a brief "trailer" for his show. Queuing behind him was a musician protecting his violin under his arm. His name was Yehudi Menuhin.
Musing on the dour Scottish philosophy of "Thou shalt not" - this, he points out, is a country where the men wear skirts and no knickers - Connolly tours Edinburgh castle, spits on the Heart of Midlothian, visits the underground street of Mary King 's Close and eventually arrives at the Usher Hall, the night's venue.
"The big light and 3,000 people staring at you," he says of performing. "You've got to do it with flu coming on or if you've had rotten news." It's hard to believe he's suffering from either as his embroidered family history delights another full house. Director Willy Smax Producer Bill Tennant
