    5.0 out of 5 stars Not Attenborough But... Really Amazing
    Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2013
    Verified Purchase
    Some people may buy this unwittingly thinking it is BBC's Life Of Birds by David Attenborough. It isn't. But it IS a very, very good mini-series about the birds of Wales, a small country that is part of Great Britain. The host, Iolo Williams, is a Welsh TV presenter and nature observer who has become famous in Britain in recent years for his documentaries. This one, which specializes in Welsh birds, is his only U.S release as of this writing. It is well worth watching whether you are a bird lover, want something family friendly or are just looking for something cheap and educational. This series delivers.

    The show is split into 5 half-hour episodes. The picture quality is very good, being a clean 1080p release. The sound quality is ok, being in simple Dolby Digital stereo. It's the cinematography that really shines here however. The scenes take place in city canals, coastal marshes, estuaries, river deltas, woodlands, mountain forests and even winter-frozen moors. Williams takes the viewer on a journey all over Wales exploring the different kinds of birds and how they migrate, find food, survive extreme conditions and most importantly, coexist with humans. Dozens of species are shown and described, many of which either live in the USA where most people reading this review live, or which have close relatives that are nearly identical to them that live in America. In other words, even though they are Welsh birds many American viewers will see familiar faces as they join Williams on his expeditions. I particularly enjoyed seeing the many kinds of Chickadees that live in Wales. Given the price of this show, which at the time of writing is only a little over $8.00 on Amazon, I highly recommend this purchase. Anyone who likes nature and nature documentaries will enjoy this as will people looking for clean, safe and educational viewing for children. This is definitely a good buy.

    4.0 out of 5 stars The secret life of WELSH birds! still an awesome 5 part BBC series
    Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    When I bought this I was thinking this would cover birds around the globe, as the packaging nowhwre mentions that it's only Welsh birds. (the reason I deducted a star from my rating)
    This wonderful 5 part BBC series only covers the birds that live in Wales, each episode runs 30 mins.
    Still i did learn some stuff, and there was some beautiful and intersting feathered friends.
    The PQ and AQ on this blu-ray relasese is stellar, and it's affordable from the films ar Mill Creek, this is also availble on Secret Life of Birds - 5 Part Series DVD for thsoe who dont own a blu-ray player.
    I used to go bird watching when I was younger lad, I miss them good ol' days.
    I need to do it again one day...

    I absolutely love this series of various aspects of birds' lives. You can feel the enthusiasm of the host, Iolo Williams, which he shares in his low-keyed way. I love the way the program begins. "A bird's life in Wales must seem to be the most pleasant existence you can wish for. What could possibly be better than being on a perch, singing happily all day without a worry in the world. A life made in heaven -- ANYTHING BUT." When I need comfort, I'll put this DVD on and baste in its beauty.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Unexpected delight!
    Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2017
    Verified Purchase
    With Attenborough as a benchmark it is hard to find quality nature videos that have bad music, obnoxious American narrators who sound like they are sports announcers (born and raised in America so I know what I'm talking about), and fuzzy footage. This entire series is well-produced with good sound and gorgeous scenery. The informed and laid-back host was a pleasure to listen to, and his warm enthusiasm for the subject came through. Although he had plenty to teach, it was interesting rather than rattling off a series of facts. He was never crude in any way; perfect for children. There were few people in the entire DVD, including Episode 4 which addressed how birds interact and live with humans. The music was a painterly backdrop rather than intrusive. Overall, a peaceful experience I will repeatedly treasure. Now I head off to buy more Iolo Williams DVDs!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Birding with an old world charm
    Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    This excellent series shows what the birds of Wales must encounter for their survival. It is a good portrayal of European bird life, something which Americans don't often see unless they travel there. Many of the bird families are the same, although the species have different color patterns and lifestyles from our American birds. With beautiful picture and sound made possible by the blu-ray disc, you get the closest view possible. The set contains five programs and is a little more than two and a half hours in total length. It's now a real bargain at less than ten dollars (including shipping) from Amazon's sellers. If you are interested in European birds, this miniseries offers much in representing the wildlife and intriguing landscape of a small country.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Modest production, yet enjoyable
    Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2013
    Verified Purchase
    In overall, this is an enjoyable documentary to watch. It is not a super BBC production, with the typical breathtaking features one can expect from BBC videos (like underwater footages of 3-meter waves, slow motion pictures of penguins jumping out of the water or an intimate view of a mother bird feeding her chicks inside a burrow). As a matter of fact, apart from the gorgeous aerial views of welsh landscapes, the whole movie has a sort of "home-made" feeling, i.e., you get the impression that anyone with an HD-camera and a good narrator could have produced the same movie; the result, however, is very satisfactory. Another interesting thing: the product should be called "The Secret Life of Welsh Birds", as it is entirely focused in Wales and its birds (although the variety of birds that exist in Wales is truly surprising!). The narration adds a lot of value to the product, the guy really is a bird-enthusiast. One drawback: there is no subtitles menu on the disc, which makes understanding quite difficult for non-native English speakers, specially because of the strong welsh accent of the narrator..

    Reviewed in Canada on April 25, 2014

    This was a very nice little series on Welsh birds. It isn't quite BBC's Life of Birds quality, so don't go into it expecting that, but it was lovely, great visuals, and the narrator clearly has a passion for what he does. For those who thought his accent distracting, I had no issues with it, I thought he sounded pleasant and fit the series perfectly, after all, we are looking at Welsh birds. I would recommend this series to anyone.
