Hopefully this will have enough interest to sustain it's own thread. Maybe ...

Here's my contribution to kick things off. Something that didn't get enough publicity - in my view - is this charming docco (first shown Dec 2020, not sure if it was filmed pre- or during- covid):

Wildlife cameraman Hamza Yassin captures beautiful footage of incredible animal behaviour on one of the most spectacular locations on the planet - Scotland's Ardnamurchan peninsula

... which doesn't even mention Hamza's lovely back-story

Blimey, am surprised we've not watched this!
At the mo we've been digesting every wildlife prog going particularly Scotland and the West Country - so that's going on the list (btw Ardnamurchan is truly spectacular).
Countryfile, Winterwatch, This farming life, Devon & Cornwall, West country walks with the fragrant JB, Best coastal walks with the Humble, The West country fishing thing, A year in the life of a Mountain, several Scottish progs about the Highlands and Islands on BBC Alba, Stein's Cornwall, one about the West of Ireland wildlife, then bumping into Richard Taylor-Jones out walking his dog...Attenborough barely gets a look in....

Ch4 Secret Safari - from Kenya. Worth a look just to see the work of the rangers who present the show.
Weds nights or 4OD

I've really loved this - odd that bird migration works so well on the radio! (Be warned - quite a lot of heartache en-route... )

Follow Scotland's ospreys on their epic migration. Over ten weeks, Emily Knight joins a team of conservationists following these beautiful birds of prey from Loch Garten to Ghana.

BBC Springwatch deserves its own thread. Meanwhile, this letter+reply from Chris Packham almost smashed me:
