60 Years in the Wild

Do you mean David not Richard mickysf? Also what channel is it on as I seemed to have missed it and cannot get I player or other catch up channels.

Silly me, I did! It’s on BBC iplayer as Attenborough:60 Years in the Wild.

What I found interesting in yesterday’s programme was the parallels I could personally make. Like Peter Scott in my early youth I was involved with the hunting, shooting, fishing community. It was there when involved in driven shoots  as a beater, shooter and socially that I witnessed both cruelty and a disregard for wildlife occupying the space where these ‘sports’ were dominating the natural and managed ecosystems. Those experiences change my outlook and attitude completely. 
As said previously, well worth watching!

Thanks for the information mickysf and like you I was bought up in rural Shropshire with a lot of things you mentioned going on although I did not get involved and later in life I did a lot of wildlife conservation being a volunteer in Somerset.

I have joined the LPO here in France and hope to get to some of their meetings as they have some local events around this area for January 1 event is an early evening do to see 100's of Redkites settle in trees for the night.

Just wish we could get iplayer here as I often see things I would like to watch.

RK, off thread I know but when we are abroad I can watch BBCi player through a free VPN that I have on my phone.

If you have a good WiFi signal it is possible.

The other choice you could do is buy an Amazon Firestick next time you are over here and set it up in the UK, it should then work fine once back in France. 

Does this work over there RK?

Thanks for the tips Youtube OH tried he is ex IT no luck as it is payable to get it and as we do not do much with Youtube and TG OH tried VPN and again no luck as we do no have a UK tv license anymore, so will leave at the moment. OH tried with with a couple of free ones and got those ie. channel 4 and Yesterday no problems with his iPad so may look at those sometimes we have got Amazon Prime and some Apple tv but only the free bits all too much for me but many thanks for your input.
