unknown.
Sam & Ade Go Birding follows good friends Samuel West and Adrian Edmondson on a spectacular birdwatching quest across the British Isles. For Sam, birding is a long-standing passion - he's been recording his sightings for twenty years and has now seen over 400 British species, though he'll always grab any opportunity to add to his list. For Adrian, the hobby is something new: he's bird-curious. Despite living in the countryside for more than twenty years, Ade's frustrated not to know more about the birds around him and now wants to learn with his enthusiastic friend - if they can stop for lunch, stay in a nice cottage and have the odd pint along the way. Across three weekend adventures, the pair travel to West Cornwall in search of Cornish Choughs, waders and transatlantic visitors blown hundreds of miles off course; to North Norfolk, on a wild goose chase for Brent and Pink-footed geese; and finally, to the Somerset Levels, where they stake out Kingfishers, Egrets and the elusive Bittern. Featuring exquisite photography and breathtaking landscapes, the series is as much about friendship as it is about wildlife. Between sightings, Sam and Ade share thoughtful, funny, and moving conversations on everything from obsession and ageing to acting, childhood memories, losing a parent and the geeky hobbies that have captivated them over the years.
Keen bird watcher Samuel West introduces his friend Adrian Edmondson to birding on the wild coast of West Cornwall. Starting at Hayle Estuary, Ade gets to grips with egrets, wigeon and curlews, before heading to the rugged Kenidjack Valley in search of lost American birds, though it's a tiny robin that ends up stealing the show.
Sam West takes his friend Adrian Edmondson to the vast Holkham Estate on the north Norfolk coast on a 'wild goose chase'. Up before dawn and braving the cold, they witness a wildlife spectacle as thousands of pink-footed geese rise from their roost and fill the sky. Also, Sam reflects on the loss of his mother and the role she played in inspiring his love of nature.
Sam West and Adrian Edmondson visit the flooded Somerset Levels in search of a bittern, Britain's loudest - and possibly most mysterious - bird. At RSPB Ham Wall, the search for the bittern is proving tricky, but they're rewarded by a pair of Great Crested Grebes who put on a dazzling display for them both. While talking hobbies, Adrian confides in Sam about the real reason he needs to keep busy.
