Hugh's Wild West

Series 1 Episode 5

Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall is in the Somerset Levels to witness one of Britain's greatest wildlife spectacles, huge winter flocks of starlings swirling in the sky as they come in to roost. The reedbeds where they seek refuge have been created from old peat quarries and thanks to dedicated volunteers they're now a haven for rare bitterns and great white egrets.
