Silver Sound 7 October 2016 - Wildlife Encounters

Today’s guest was Bristol-based wildlife film producer Dan Freeman. Dan has produced over thirty wildlife documentaries and has written five books and numerous articles. His recent book, Mangroves and Man Eaters and Other Wildlife Encounters , is a fascinating account of some of his adventures – some funny, some sad, some frankly terrifying. From meeting the original James Bond to wading in with piranhas to getting to know the blackbirds in his own garden, Dan has some amazing stories to tell. His book also gives an insight into the work of wildlife film makers, and is a reminder that we depend on wild habitats as much as the animals who live in them. If you’re interested in filming or photographing wildlife, why not go along to the Bristol Wildscreen Festival? The Festival runs from 10 to 14 October. For details of events and bookings visit the Wildscreen Festival website. Also this month is Bristol Festival of Literature from 20 to 29 October. See the Bristol Festival of
