MIKE DILGER is one of wildlife TV's best-known presenters in his role as resident wildlife reporter on The One Show. With degrees in Botany and Ecology, Mike spent many years in the rainforests of Ecuador, Vietnam and Tanzania, before returning home to reacquaint himself with his first love - British wildlife. Mike is also a columnist for BBC Wildlife magazine and a reporter on BBC Radio 4's Costing the Earth; his expertise and infectious enthusiasm see him pontificating on everything from bumblebees to basking sharks.
Following Mike on his quest to unearth green gems across the length and breadth of Britain is an absolute joy. The elation, the despair, the dangers, the accomplishments are all laid bare for everyone to enjoy.
