London

Bill Oddie goes bird watching in and around London. He sees pigeons in Trafalgar Square, exotic wildfowl in Regent's Park, ducks in a gravel pit, bitterns, parakeets, black redstarts and red kites.

The Trafalgar Square pigeons are not the only birds in London. Join Britain's favourite birdwatcher on a trip around the capital, in search of some of its best-kept birding secrets. Amongst the usual ducks, geese and pigeons, Bill Oddie discovers the mysterious and elusive bittern, the rare and beautiful smew, and a bizarre feathered immigrant from India, the ring-necked parakeet - now an official British bird.
