Bird Brain of Britain

Celebrity birdwatchers and naturalists join Russell Davies for a celebration of birds in nature, art and culture, in a special programme from Slimbridge wetland centre.

Russell Davies welcomes a panel of celebrity experts and bird lovers to a one-off quiz special from The Wildfowl & Wetland Trust's Slimbridge wetland centre in Gloucestershire. With interest in birds and awareness of the risks to their lives and habitats on the increase in recent years, we're celebrating their role in our life and culture. Birds have fascinated artists, musicians and writers throughout history, and we'll find out how many famous bird references our experts can recognise - as well as how much they know about the bird life around us.

Taking part are
Fyfe Dangerfield, musician
Kate Humble, writer and broadcaster
Lucy Lapwing, naturalist and campaigner
Kitty Macfarlane, singer and songwriter

There are sure to be plenty of surprises, fascinating facts and familiar voices - and the winner will be able to preen themselves at being named Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Bird Brain of Britain.

Producers: Stephen Garner and Paul Bajoria
