All in Review
As most people will already know, the BBC has released a sequel to the 2006 Planet Earth series. The sequel, appropriately named Planet Earth II and featuring Sir David Attenborough as the narrator, was as stunning as you would expect.
I cannot even start with my usual anecdotes. This short but incredibly sweet episode of the series was one of the most inspiring and positive documentaries I have ever seen on British herptiles.
Anyone who knows me well will know of my fascination with New Zealand. This fascination is down to one amazing little creature - the Tuatara. When I first heard that BBC Two was about to release a wildlife documentary series featuring New Zealand, I was pretty excited.
Most responsible reptile and amphibians keepers - especially those who do not study herpetology - will rely on books and the internet for information on how to provide the best care they can possibly provide to their herptile. However, finding accurate information and advice based on research and not opinions can be a pretty difficult task at times.
Now, don't quote me on this but if my research is correct, Buchanan is a Scottish wildlife photographer and cameramen. He's worked on quite a few wildlife documentaries including the rather famous Big Cat Diary.
Although I absolutely adore reading about wildlife, when it comes to the usual nature writing book, I tend to struggle with the cheesiness. Now, I don't mean to say that all nature writing books are cheesy. In fact, there are some very good nature writing books out there. However, generally speaking, the vast majority of these types of books will contain a certain element of human philosophy and self-discovery through nature that, to be completely honest, bores me a bit.
