By revealing some of his often surprising techniques, Simon encourages people to have a go themselves, giving a new and intimate perspective on native wild animals. Simon shows how to get really close to wild otters and how to train a robin to feed from the hand. He demonstrates how to have a conversation with a grasshopper and how to sneak up on rabbits and fallow deer, as well as how to go fishing for lizards and get a fantastic pedicure from a prawn.
