Bill Oddie is Britain’s best-known birder, and one of the most longstanding and familiar faces of wildlife television. After finding fame as one of the 1970s comedy trio The Goodies, Bill tuned his lifelong passion for birds into a second career, travelling throughout Britain and the world with series such as Birding with Bill Oddie, Bill Oddie Goes Wild and of course Springwatch, all presented in his inimitable, ‘organic freeform’ style. In recent years he has become a major figurehead for conservation at home and abroad, joining various causes including the anti badger culling campaign.
