Open Country: The Changing River with Philippa Forrester

Series 890, episode 13

For over two decades presenter and wildlife expert Philippa Forrester has lived in a house with a river flowing through it. It's home to an abundance of species including kingfisher, mink and egrets, and it's been the backdrop to a remarkable period of time when Philippa helped raise two orphaned otter cubs ready to be released back into the wild. Philippa tells some of the stories of this river, and remembers how whole trees and even a car have come floating past after particularly heavy rains. She talks about how the river changes in the seasons, but also how she's seen legions of Signal Crayfish marching down after the sluice gate has been opened
