'Lambing Live' and much more…
'Lambing Live' will no doubt capture the heart of the public.
A close relative to the exceptionally popular Springwatch Live, ‘Lambing Live’ will no doubt have viewers on the edge of their seats as they watch real life events unfold on a sheep farm in Wales, and there’s much more in terms of wildlife TV this week too…
 

Taking a prime time 8pm slot from Sunday to Thursday, BBC2 no doubt has high hopes for its new ‘Lambing Live’ series, which will be presented by Kate Humble.

The weekend is actually an action-packed time for wildlife documentaries – starting with ‘The Crocodile Hunter Diaries’ on Saturday on ITV 1. ‘Predator Battleground’ focuses on wildlife competing for dominance in the dry season in Botswana’s Savuti Channel.

This week’s ‘Natural World’ – on Sunday – focuses on a Frenchman, who, in rural Borneo, has combined his love of music and his love of ‘singing’ gibbons with some fascinating results. ‘In Search of the Giant Anaconda’ is a “does what it says on the tin” type of programme featuring on Discovery HD on Sunday night.

Monday is marked by ‘Nature’s Top 40’ on BBC2, which focuses on the best of British wildlife. A little later in the week is the exciting ‘Lost Land of the Jaguar’ where a team of intrepid explorers go in search of these wonderful and scarce animals and find themselves deep within jungle wilderness.
