See if you can find the first series, it was truly amazing- the best nature programme we have ever watched. In one bit it was monkeys who livev in an old derelict monastery I think it was, one of the youngsters knocked over the spy monkey & 'cause it didnt move they all thought it was dead, it was one of the saddest things to watch, they were all so upset over it. Really made me change my whole thoughts about monkeys.

I will take a look - I was amazed by the ingenuity of the spy cams - the proboscis monkeys challenging behaviour changing to curiosity too. Turtle cam was amazing too.

We were amazed too, never seen anything like it. We will also try and find the first series. I loved the bird after the elephant clumped it, he looked a bit disheveled.

I saw program about the making of the cams, they had issues building the gator initially as it filled with water, they finally achieved their aim and were rewarded with some superb cam work.

The gator amongst the hippos was brilliant ...

The colour of those birds, what a truly beautiful world we live in.
Do try & find the first series, apart from the above monkey one i mentioned, there was a hilarious one of a teenage gorilla trying to impress a female who wasnt interest & walked off, the look on his face & his reaction when she did so were just so funny.

I found the monkey clip online, it is so heart warming.
