Woodpeckers feeding their young; grass snakes hunting; herons nesting; moles tunnelling - these, plus deer, hares and barn owls are not unusual inhabitants of the British countryside. But how many of us have found them within yards of our car windscreen?
Using his van as a photographic hide, expert naturalist and film-maker Eric Ashby has filmed the unsuspecting creatures to be seen from the highways and byways and shows how, at any time of the year, we too might quietly sit and observe a whole range of wildlife in the course of an afternoon's drive.

Suite 719 of New York's Plaza Hotel is the setting for Neil Simon's three comedy vignettes, each featuring the talented and very funny Walter Matthau in contrasting characterisations - as a disenchanted, middle-aged husband on his second honeymoon; as a Hollywood producer on the make; and as a panic-stricken father-of-the-bride.
