00:09I can't help noticing that it's very dark.
00:13Why are we here this early?
00:14I don't normally get up, sort of around 4.30.
00:17I know, but 4.30 is really quite early.
00:20Yes, fair point, all right.
00:23Have you got anything to sit on?
00:25I do, yes.
00:26I'm one of those people who buys things at garages.
00:28Oh, the day's looking better already.
00:31Does it happen here?
00:32They might do, if we're lucky.
00:38Do you have any coffee?
00:39I've got some coffee.
00:41I love you.
00:43So we should see birds.
00:46I can't see any at the moment.
00:49No, no.
00:50Well, that will change.
00:53I really enjoyed our little trip to Cornwall.
00:56I think I enjoyed bits that you didn't.
00:58I had this incredible experience with a robin.
01:03Yes.
01:04I mean, I can't tell you.
01:06I've told everyone about it.
01:07When it was just where your knee is now.
01:09Yes.
01:10And I sang it a song and then it cheeped back to me.
01:13I don't think I've ever had that experience with a wild bird.
01:15I tend to look past the common stuff, like the robin or the red shank, and just go, oh, yeah,
01:21I know what that is.
01:23I think I'm going to make an effort on this trip, not to chase the rare stuff and just enjoy
01:28what we've got in front of us.
01:29All right.
01:37I've brought you here because Norfolk is one of the great birding destinations.
01:42In the world?
01:44Actually, yes.
01:45Yeah.
01:45I've brought you here because we're on a wild goose chase.
01:50Oh, I like that.
01:52LAUGHTER
02:05I didn't bring my gloves.
02:06They're in my suitcase.
02:09Here we are.
02:10I mean, it's just slightly absurd, sitting in armchairs in the middle of a field at God knows what hour
02:15in the morning.
02:16And what are we expecting to see?
02:18We are here to watch one of the great migration spectacles.
02:23You've got my interest now.
02:25Pink-footed geese arrive here in massive numbers around now.
02:31Norfolk sometimes holds about 70,000 of them, which is a quarter of the world's population.
02:36What do you call them? Pink-footed?
02:38Pink-footed geese.
02:39Where are they coming from?
02:40They're coming from Iceland.
02:41Right.
02:42And Greenland, where they breed.
02:44And they're coming to Norfolk.
02:45And they're coming to Norfolk.
02:46LAUGHTER
02:48The thing is, geese flying south has been a mark of the seasons for millennia.
02:53This is the south they come to.
02:55Right.
02:56I mean, we think it's chilly, but this is their Benidorm.
02:58Oh, this is their summer holiday.
02:59This is their summer holiday.
03:01Well, I can see them now.
03:04Is it a lake down there?
03:05It is.
03:05They roost on lakes because they feel safer.
03:07They can see predators coming.
03:10So some unspoken command shoots through the flock.
03:14Yeah.
03:14And they all go.
03:20Here we go.
03:21Here we go.
03:33Oh, look at that.
03:39Oh, my God.
03:41Oh, my God.
03:43That's huge numbers.
03:51Oh, that is amazing.
03:55That is literally thousands, isn't it?
03:58Yeah.
03:59Yeah.
03:59They're coming over the top.
04:01Coming over us.
04:03What a sight.
04:07Here they come.
04:09From World War II.
04:10Yes.
04:11Try not to sing the Danbusters.
04:12Operations room.
04:15Look at that.
04:21That is gorgeous.
04:23Oh, ho, ho, ho.
04:27I just feel with this noise and watching this thing, you're touching the edge of something
04:33wild that's been going on for hundreds of thousands of years.
04:43I've been watching geese in Norfolk for 20 years, but I don't think I've ever seen that many.
04:56Do you mind if we can warm up in the car?
04:58I'm freezing.
04:58That's a very, very good idea.
05:02Well, that was good.
05:05This is the problem with birding, is it?
05:07And it all takes place when it's bloody freezing.
05:10Yes.
05:14I do have some connection with this part of the world.
05:19And it always makes me think of my mortality these days, in that I've got these suits that
05:26I wear, especially when I'm rehearsing.
05:27They used to be made by this couple in Holt.
05:30Oh, yes.
05:31They had a company called Old Town.
05:32And they wanted to retire, and they couldn't find anyone to buy the business.
05:36And so she rang me up, and she said,
05:39why don't you close Dan?
05:40If you want any extra suits, order them.
05:44And I thought about it, and I ordered three.
05:48Yes.
05:49And I remember saying to her, I think that'll see me out.
05:52Oh, aid.
05:54You do start to think about...
05:57The end.
06:02Well, talking of which, since we last met, my mum died a week ago.
06:10One day after what would have been her 62nd wedding anniversary.
06:18Last week, we went down to Shaftesbury Avenue to see the West End theatres dim their front
06:24of house lights for her, which is something which would have astonished and delighted her.
06:31But it really, it really floored me.
06:45The last proper conversation I had with her was when, a couple of years ago, she said,
06:54how old am I?
06:55And I said, you're 91, ma.
06:57And she said, 91.
06:5991.
07:0091.
07:0191.
07:0191.
07:0791.
07:08It's beautifully timed, beautifully enunciated.
07:11I mean, we had a few more conversations after that, but that may be the last one I remember.
07:15Yeah.
07:17But, um...
07:18Well, that's good to have in the memory.
07:20Yeah, it's a goodie.
07:21It's a goodie.
07:23And I certainly got my love of the outdoors from her.
07:26And there's a skylark.
07:28And there's a skylark.
07:28Yeah, you can hear it.
07:29That sort of buzzing song.
07:33More of a call, really.
07:57Let's grab those chairs and see what else we can find.
08:02Well done, they were very useful.
08:08£2.50 well spent.
08:10Mm-hm.
08:13Oh, I'm glad you came, Sam.
08:16Yeah, so am I.
08:19Let's see what else Holcomb's got to offer us birders.
08:49Holcomb's incredible.
08:50You never have to drive far between the best spots.
08:53It's got everything.
08:56what have we got here we've got sand dunes we've got marsh yeah i mean it's reeds it's
09:02a brilliant place for so many habitats close together you have pines for perching birds
09:08and then dunes over the other side of the trees where you get
09:11snow bunting and shore lark and we hope brent geese is this our uh the bird we're looking for
09:18today yes are we on a mission we've got a mission you like a mission wild goose chase i told
09:23you
09:23brent and pink feet are the true wild geese they don't breed here they're just winter visitors
09:28so that's why they're interesting right
09:35let's go and find some brent geese
09:41i think our best bets probably go through the woods get out onto the beach and the marsh where
09:46they like to feed
09:50oh there's a birdie what was that a little birdie turn the turn the engine off again
10:02in the bracken there look two birds here that's a robin just here
10:10he's probably following me around again hello mate i'm here
10:17have you come all the way from cornwall
10:31so head up towards the beach
10:36what's that i think that's a bird of prey of some sort isn't it oh it's a sparrowhawk female i
10:42think
10:44look at that oh that stiff neck job nearly fell over good spot though well done
10:53so a sparrowhawk does that eat sparrows yes does it yes another another well-named bird well that is very
11:01good yes it does
11:10this brent goose i think they're lovely are they are they something to look at is it a work
11:16of art if you like your bird's minimalist and charismatic yes
11:26that's some beach that is some beach absolutely beautiful
11:43i'd say there's no geese at all no i can't see any more importantly i can't hear any
11:51we could try along there yeah that's a good viewpoint
11:56naturism is only permitted within the red shaded area come on let's go home
12:05come on if we found them straight away it wouldn't be a proper wild goose chase
12:15i wonder if you and my mum had something in common
12:19so much of your career was defined by one job i know i always say that about the young ones
12:2714 weeks 14 weeks of the young ones and two two series of 40 towers when she was so celebrated
12:34for
12:3440 towers she said the only downside was that she didn't get offered any more classical plays
12:39yeah i think it's one of the great tragedies of doing comedy well is it is that it kind of
12:46kiboshes your possibilities yeah
12:57oh look at that
13:00oh wow
13:04haha this is gun hill needs to be an anti-aircraft gun emplacement here
13:09it's a beautiful spot isn't it yeah this is what we call salt marsh
13:14and brent geese thrive on the space between the land and the sea so they're going to be around here
13:23yeah we're sharing the airwaves with raf lake and heath
13:29it's not like being disturbed by spitfires is it big ugly um flying triangles
13:35yeah
13:49i don't really know my raf planes these days do you no i knew them all when i was a
13:55kid we used to live on
13:57an raf base in pot rain oh that would do it yeah yeah my dad used to teach forces kids
14:05i was central boarding school and the general expectation was that you would you would follow
14:12the line and yeah and join up yeah and i i was uh i was suspended in my final year
14:24um one of my best on the list of crimes was attempted asphyxiation of a chemistry master
14:32it was it was just part of a catalog i think it was the final straw and um i was
14:38suspended and the
14:40the only reason i was brought back was because it was uh halfway through the term and we were doing
14:47hamlet and i was hamlet red kite quite close yeah that's sexy there you are sexy bird
15:01look at the way it steers with its tail that is i mean that is ooh
15:11you had a very different dad to mine i suppose i did did your dad expect you to become an
15:17actor
15:18i'm the fourth generation wow so in the end it just became hard to avoid really
15:26oh well what was that on the salt marsh just on the brownie bit yes you can see a little
15:33black and
15:34white flock is that is that them that's them just here oh yeah yeah i see them friend geese

28:28a
28:28shotgun it was a large walking stick all right what's he threatening you he seemed completely
28:32unfazed by the fact that I was it I was on his lawn looking for looking for owls yeah
28:37it couldn't have been sweeter did you find an owl I didn't see any tourneys but I heard several I
28:43think there was one on my window sill all night really it's a very nice eggs thank you so where
28:49are we going today if client reserve was an instrument it would be a Stradivarius hmm so we're
28:57going to spend most of the day in the reserve lots of birds lots of birds lots of water birds
29:03who knows
29:06what what might fly in so yeah we're heading on to the a149 which I've taken to calling the birding
29:22silk road why is it the silk road because it just connects so many brilliant sites from Snettisham on the
29:30wash round to well chroma really but the jewel in the crown of the silk road is is Clyde we've
29:40got a
29:40mission today um well look around one of the most beautiful and famous nature reserves in the world
29:50not really we'll see what turns up hmm that's a new attitude yes I'm working on it
30:04you know all that um noise the aeroplanes yeah I saw on the local news last night it was all
30:10a
30:10NATO exercise was it no helicopter up there bloody hell oh there's a huge flock or something over there
30:18is so starling no they're geese what are they do you think I'd I imagine they're um pinkfoots
30:25they are well done they're pinks there you go this is very comfy I like it you like the bit
30:31where
30:31you get to sit down yeah well it's you know there seems to be plenty about you um this is
30:35our patch
30:36and we'll just see what comes you've sort of changed your attitude since Cornwall you were always on
30:41your phone looking for it to see oh there's been a thingy thingy in here we've got to go there
30:45yeah
30:45yes running about no have you calmed down I might have calmed down a bit yeah is it my steady
30:51influence on my laziness yes I think I think you have had a good influence on me I I sometimes
30:58think
30:58that my search for rarity stops me looking at the common stuff and I think perhaps I I looked at
31:05you
31:05enjoying a robin and a red shank and thought I could do a bit more of that so we're going
31:20into a number of
31:21hides now the clue is in the name the birds won't be able to see us
31:40come to you is that loud and high I'm sure yes
31:49always lovely and stewed it's got that dark gray color yeah that only comes out of a thermos
31:58oh yeah
32:01you see the there's three mostly white bodied but with black just on this yep bank the first
32:08island yep what are they they're shelter right so just to the right of the shell duck yeah you can
32:16see some white bellied waders with dark legs there's a lapwing also known as peewit oh lapwings going up
32:28incredibly acrobatic they change directions so fast now they're coming in formation
32:35that bird standing on one leg yeah they do that today yeah just to save save one leg most waders
32:43can
32:44stop blood going into their feet as well if it's really cold I mean not completely stalks the stalk
32:51margarine stand on one leg once ended a competition stalk margarine and you know it's back in the 60s
32:5870s when you had to say I like stalk margarine because yeah and Rick's dad went I like stalk margarine
33:05because I've only got one leg it didn't win it didn't win
33:19that white bird swimming to the side is an avocet by itself in the middle of the channel swimming
33:28right just going behind the reeds now it's a filter feeder so it's you could use it it's running water
33:36through its bill taking it up and lifting its head and running the water through its bill
33:41black head white black and white head yeah well that's lovely the black streak over its head yeah
33:50nicely getting a shot of its arse the bill curving upwards is unique oh it's gorgeous the other set
34:02you're a regular here once a year I mean normally with my youngest son yeah what about yourself I'm
34:12I'm I'm I'm the new recruit did you grow up knowing all the birds because I didn't is that there
34:19seemed to
34:19be a missing part of my education no I you know it must be granddad and then my dad it's
34:26a lovely spot
34:27this isn't it yeah what's your favorite bird I would not say that I've ever such one of the
34:33would you yeah I'm the greatest I mean that's why the RSP is I think there's quite a lot of
34:39beauty in

37:20in um Star Wars and the Star Wars film and of course you did and but I
37:27it was it was the weight was a problem then right and I went in for this uh fitting for
37:33because they make you these suits and they're dead those suits are based on the sort of Hugo Boss
37:38side Nazi Nazi okay really tight kind of job pre-type trousers and they and they and they
37:45they cut this kind of costume for me there was just so I could not move I and I think
37:51that's why
37:51the Nazis were so cross it's because all their uniforms are just far too tight and it made them
37:57really vicious and only when they got out of their uniform at night did they become human again
38:02oh oh thank god for that so if if in between takes I sometimes had to take my trousers down
38:09because it was just so if they'd been wearing you know Fred Perry polo shirts we're going straight

41:39while it's light yeah there's something I want to show you but we'll have to crack on
41:44right let's go right
41:49so this is a little monument to something that's quite special to birdies
41:59the parish church of St Margaret of Antioch
42:02Antioch I know it sounds like something out of Monty Python
42:05yeah so I rather wanted to show it to you
42:11it's such a grand church
42:16so in January 2008
42:19in the driveway of one of the houses that we just drove past in Clyde
42:22a really rare American bird turned up called a white-crowned sparrow
42:28and it was fed by the people who lived there and so it stayed
42:31I kind of like it here
42:33yeah why not
42:34I get free food
42:35yeah and I was one of a large crowd of people who came to Clyde to see it
42:40and the people who lived there passed a bucket around
42:42and after seven weeks and about 5,000 people visiting
42:46they'd raised I think over 6,000 pounds
42:50and they gave it the airfare back home
42:51and they sent it home
42:52no they didn't
42:54oh that would have been brilliant
42:58but they did give it to St Margaret's at Clyde
43:01for the restoration of the Great West Window
43:03right
43:04and to commemorate this act of generosity by the twitchers
43:10there's the sparrow
43:11I see
