I bought this DVD for my husband for Christmas and we have only recently found time to watch it. Too be honest both my husband and I are more into birds, but this DVD may just change that.
Firstly, I must confess that we're not expert's when it comes to Mammals. We were very surprised to find that we have so many different species off mammal in Britain. I had no idea we had eighteen species of bat, so many Dolphins and Whales passing through our waters, many of which are resident, and five species of Shrew!! where have we been?
This DVD has really opened my eyes to our mammal species and has taught me so much. It has made my husband and I determined to look for more mammal species when we go out this year.
The video footage is beautiful for every species, I'd love to know how they managed to obtain it all. It really adds a new dimension to actually see each mammal rather than look at a picture in a book. Loads of extra photos and diagrams are included, showing footprints, poo, nests, Bats close up, burrows, etc, etc.
Favourite bits are the boxing hares, the Killer Whales, all of the mice & shrew species and the Stoat being chased by a rabbit.
On my shelf at home we have a DVD guide to British Birds, Butterflies, Dragonflies, Damselflies...and now Mammals.
Highly recommended for anyone interested in British wildlife.
