Welcome to our site. We hope you enjoyed Halcyon River Diaries on BBC One. It was very interesting making it and we learnt a lot about the animals on the river - and each other!

As a family we’re all mad about wildlife and try to spend as much of our time as we can outside watching it. We’re really lucky to live in such a great spot, right next to a small river; so we get to watch the daily comings and goings of all our wild neighbours. There are a few animals that we are particularly fond of  - otters, kingfishers, ducks, dippers and moorhens are at the top of our list - (Kingfisher’s are Charlie’s favourite while Philippa has a particular passion for water voles) The boys love them all but otters are always the most exciting to see.

Our aim is to try and inspire people about the wildlife that lives all around them and prove that it can be just as interesting as wildlife anywhere else in the world .
