Kupi Birding In Alaska (PC)

These DVDs are perfect for any birdwatcher who has been to or is planning to go to any of the featured countries, or who just wants to enjoy watching fabulous birds in the comfort of their living room. Each tells the story of a birdwatching adventure to the chosen destination, with presenter Dave Gosney. You will get to share the excitement of finding the most sought-after species (or the disappointment of 'dipping out') and then enjoy the fantastic views of the birds on your screen. In the words of TV presenter Chris Packham, 'I love these videos by Dave Gosney. They show exactly what it's like to go birding in these places'. Each title is a re-formatted version of one of the VHS videos in the series 'Gosney in...'. In this new DVD format, you are able to enjoy better-quality images and make use of a menu system that makes it easy to jump to different parts of the film, including the option of going directly to any species. These new titles are also significantly cheaper than the VHS versions, retailing for only £12.95 instead of £19.95, so they represent fantastic value. Alaska has some of the wildest and most beautiful places on earth, a dream location for any birdwatcher hoping to see Arctic birds such as Snowy Owl and Gyr Falcon or charismatic seabirds such as Tufted Puffin and Crested Auklet. It's an expensive place to visit, so if you can't immediately get there yourself, this DVD is the next best thing. It tells the story of an expedition to some of Alaska's most exciting sites: to Mount Denali in search of falcons, waders, wildfowl and some elusive warblers; to Point Barrow where Snowy Owls and Long-Tailed Skuas (Jaegers) hunt over tundra on which sandpipers and phalaropes are busy feeding; and to St Paul's Island, where the cliffs hold thousands of spectacular seabirds.
