 These DVDs are perfect for any birdwatcher who has been to or is planning to go to any of the featured countries, or who just wants to enjoy watching fabulous birds in the comfort of their living room. Each tells the story of a birdwatching adventure to the chosen destination, with presenter Dave Gosney. You will get to share the excitement of finding the most sought-after species (or the disappointment of 'dipping out') and then enjoy the fantastic views of the birds on your screen. In the words of TV presenter Chris Packham, 'I love these videos by Dave Gosney. They show exactly what it's like to go birding in these places'. Each title is a re-formatted version of one of the VHS videos in the series 'Gosney in...'. In this new DVD format, you are able to enjoy better-quality images and make use of a menu system that makes it easy to jump to different parts of the film, including the option of going directly to any species. These new titles are also significantly cheaper than the VHS versions, retailing for only £12.95 instead of £19.95, so they represent fantastic value.
China is becoming more accessible as a holiday destination, and who could resist the prospect of tracking down beautiful Siberian rarities? Dave Gosney visits Beidaihe, a holiday resort on the east coast that has rightly become famous as the best place in the world to see birds which are regarded in Europe as the most exciting of mega-rarities. Around Beidaihe, birds such as Pallas's and Yellow-browed Warblers are the commonest of migrants, and others such as Radde's Warbler, Dusky Warbler, Siberian Blue Robin and Yellow-breasted Bunting are seen every day. The rice paddies of Radar Marsh provide a chance to see rare pipits and waders, more of which can be found at the nearby coastal sites. To round off a magical trip Dave visits the buzzing migration hotspot of Happy Island where some of the eastern waders occur in large numbers and the bushes seethe with exotic flycatchers and thrushes. |
