Watch M. G. Leonard on Ellie Harrison’s BBC Countryfile Best Of Compilation
It was a real honour when Ellie Harrison from Countryfile chose to rebroadcast our beetle hunt in a stunning West Sussex lupin field. It's a lovely memory to revisit and a nice way to end a difficult year.
If you fancy a peek, we're strolling and chatting about how wonderful and important beetles are about 26 minutes in., but the whole program is a delight. It will be available to watch on the iplayer for a year, so teachers and homeschoolers, if you are planning a spring bug project, you will be able to watch it in classrooms. Click on the picture below to launch the program.
The wonderful illustrations you see in the piece are from The Beetle Collector’s Handbook and by the astonishingly talented Carim Nahaboo. Used in combination with Beetle Boy (fiction) the books can spark real enthusiasm and interest in beetles. You can find lots of resources and materials here.
