The second report follows a group of 'Twitchers' or bird watchers at Big Waters Nature Reserve near Newcastle where many of them have travelled long distances to see the rare Pine bunting. They are asked why do they do it? The third report follows wildlife photographer Allan Potts as he puts together a show of his work and takes photos with his son on the family farm at Backworth near Newcastle. The final report is on wood sculptor Jimmy Potts from Kielder who uses a chainsaw to produce totems.
