ShootingEgg Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 Watched it when it was on the other night, was quite good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 The photography is wonderful, but what a long drawn out slow way to put a programme together. Great if you want to get to sleep! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old'un Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 It should have been called H is for Helen, as the program was mostly about Helen Macdonald. As TIGHTCHOKE said...

But I found it interesting and again agree that the filmography was superb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisjpainter Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 It was a bit disappointing, to be sure. I have no idea why it was a Natural World production when there was so little about goshawks in the wild. Personally I think it should have been two programmes done properly, not one as a mish-mash. A proper NW on the UK's burgeoning gos population would have been great, as would a proper falconry programme on Macdonald and her captive bird - or falconry in general, but I guess that'd be a bit non-PC.

Dougy Posted October 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 Still halve an hour watching something 1/2 good on falconry is better that a whole hour of dancing in drag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mice! Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 I enjoyed it, need to watch the last quarter of an hour again, as kids came home so while it was on I missed most of what she was saying. Stunning pictures and yes it was different to what you might expect, I would like a follow up program in say two years I think there are going to be a lot of nervous squirrels and rabbits where she lives.

crossy 666 Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 I count myself very lucky as I get to see and work with these types of birds every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mice! Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 (edited) I count myself very lucky as I get to see and work with these types of birds every day. I'm very very jealous, was the woman in the program very good with her bird or do you think they just showed the good bits? Edited October 28, 2017 by Mice!

crossy 666 Posted October 29, 2017 Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 I think like others have said it was drawn out program but any chance to see these animals in action is aways worth a watch because normally all they get is bad press Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
