Review

Parks are one of the last places we would think of when it comes to spectacular wildlife. Stereotypically when we think of wildlife we usually think of exotic palaces and wild animals such as the African Savannah with its Lions, Leopards and Cheetahs, but what about the animals in our very own parks?

‘Park Life’ is a brand new wildlife documentary which illustrates to the audience that you do not have to go to the ends of the Earth just to see some spectacular wildlife, as it can be right at your backdoor. The programme ventures through Rectory Park and watches how the wildlife and its environment adapt to the seasonal changes throughout a year. In this episode, you will see how the animals and the park adapt to the change from the ‘cold, harsh frozen season of winter’ to ‘the life giving season of spring’. With its catchy title sequence and stunning close up shots of the animals including the Robins and Grey Squirrels, Park Life will engage from the very beginning. See Squirrel acrobatics, meet the very unique Green Woodpecker, listen to the adorable Robins singing their little hearts out and watch out for the sly sneaky Red Fox tip toeing around our streets. This documentary gives a real insight into life in a park as the animals really immerse us into their world. Witness natures beauties unravel from the gloomy winter to the bright colourful spring. Park Life will allow you to see a side of wildlife you have never seen before.
