Journey into Spring (5x5)

Ημερομηνία προβολής: Ιαν 01, 1957

Spring comes to Selborne in Hampshire where the Reverend Gilbert White made his classic record of the wild life in his parish : rook and dabchick, frog and slow worm, hedgehog, mole and vole; pussy willow, catkin, celadine, primrose. Two centuries later, in much the same inspiring way as White must have witnessed it, a patient and sensitive camera describes a wonderful diversity of wildlife and joyful spring activity, patiently recorded by probing camera by renowned wildlife cinematographer Patrick Carey and evocative words of the poet, Laurie Lee.
