Klíčové slovo Birdwatching

Steve Martin, Jack Black a Owen Wilson spolu tvoří komické trio snů v chytré a vtipné komedii režiséra filmů Ďábel nosí Pradu a Marley a já. Tři amatérští milovníci ptactva, kteří touží na chvíli uniknout stereotypu všedního života, se spolu utkají v soutěži o titul nejlepšího „ptačího pozorovatele“. Vítězem se stane ten, který během jediného kalendářního roku spatří největší počet ptačích druhů. Přátelské soupeření se ale brzy mění v bláznivé dobrodružné putování, na kterém si každý z mužů uvědomí, že honba za úspěchem bude něco stát – a nebude to zrovna málo!

Zkrachovalý restauratér a jeho soused vymyslí plán, jak do malého městečka v Newfoundlandu přilákat významné osobnosti.

Comedic ornithological series, Painting Birds with Jim and Nancy Moir will follow prolific artist Jim and his wife Nancy as they explore some of Britain’s best beauty spots, joined along the way by a few famous friends. Their challenge? Create an original piece of bird art celebrating the unique species native to that region over the course of a weekend. Accompanied in each episode by local twitchers, artists and conservation experts, Jim, and Nancy will be guided through forest and fen as they venture through wild countryside and local bird sanctuaries to gather inspiration. They’ll spend meditative weekends sketching and painting their feathery subjects, tackling everything from grouse to goshawks and bitterns to bearded tits.

Bill Bailey plays host to two teams of well-known personalities – made up of a keen famous ‘twitcher’ and another who’s really not that interested in ornithology – as they compete against one other in testing twitching tasks. Each episode, the beloved British comedian sets the famous faces six ornithological obstacles, including four distinct birding challenges, and two bonus campsite ones. These range from straight bird races (spotting as many different species in a set time) to drawing, photography and counting contests. Whoever wins the most rounds will be named top twitchers. The series takes Bill and the competing couples to some of Britain’s most beautiful and best birdwatching locations, from the tranquillity of Rutland Water to the sheer spectacle of thousands of migrating geese in the Solway Firth to the rugged beauty of the Isle of Mull.

Birding with Bill Oddie was a British TV programme, about natural history, presented by Bill Oddie. Three series were made. Birding with Bill Oddie was only loosely scripted and a lot of Bill's dialogue was spontaneous - he would start to talk and the cameraman would film him. The reason that the viewer almost feels that they are in the hide or on the site with Bill, is that video was used rather than film.
