But as the birds remain elusive, he joins nightingale surveyors Ivan and Alice at the crack of dawn to explore the extraordinary landscapes of Knepp, learn about the astonishing wildlife revival happening here and maybe, just maybe, catching the most magical birdsong to be heard in Britain.<\/p>\n\n<p>This is episode 5 of season 16: Get Active in Nature. With thanks to Ivan, Alice and all the team at Knepp.<\/p>\n<p>In next week\u2019s episode, we talk with Isabella Tree who, with her partner Charlie Burrell owns Knepp and has pioneered the rewilding project.
