0:00:10 > 0:00:11# Let's play!
0:00:11 > 0:00:15# Who could we be today? What could we do?
0:00:15 > 0:00:18# I'd like to drive a racing car
0:00:18 > 0:00:20# Fly to the moon
0:00:20 > 0:00:25# I could be firefighter, a farmer or a vet
0:00:25 > 0:00:27# A knight in shining armour
0:00:27 > 0:00:29# Or I could be a chef
0:00:29 > 0:00:32# Let's play
0:00:32 > 0:00:35# Let's play

0:00:39 > 0:00:40# Let's play! #
0:00:44 > 0:00:47HE WHISTLES
0:00:48 > 0:00:53He's good at whistling. Let me have a go.
0:00:53 > 0:00:54SHE BLOWS
0:00:55 > 0:00:57Hmm.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59SHE BLOWS
0:01:00 > 0:01:01You all right, Rebecca?
0:01:01 > 0:01:04I would be if I could whistle.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06SHE BLOWS But I can't.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Come on, everyone can whistle.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11HE WHISTLES A TUNE SHE BLOWS
0:01:11 > 0:01:13- See? - That's more blowing than whistling.
0:01:13 > 0:01:17- I could teach you.- Really? - Sure. Make a kissy face
0:01:17 > 0:01:19- Take a deep breath in. - HE BREATHES IN
0:01:19 > 0:01:21And then blow out gently.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23HE WHISTLES SHE BLOWS
0:01:23 > 0:01:25You're right. You can't whistle.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Maybe one day. BEEPING
0:01:28 > 0:01:34- There are more important things than whistling! It's time!- Great!
0:01:36 > 0:01:41- It's time to play! - Whose turn is it today?
0:01:41 > 0:01:44- Let it be me!- Let it be me!
0:01:44 > 0:01:46- Me!- Me!
0:01:46 > 0:01:50Let it be me, let it be me!
0:01:50 > 0:01:51Let it be me.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Let it be me.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55BOTH: # Let it be me
0:01:55 > 0:01:57# Let it be me
0:01:57 > 0:02:01# I really, really, really, really hope that it's me. #
0:02:01 > 0:02:05- Let...- Let...- Let...- Let... - Let it be me!
0:02:05 > 0:02:08# Let it be me, let it be me
0:02:08 > 0:02:12# I really, really, really, really hope that it's me! #
0:02:12 > 0:02:14- Could it be me?- Could it be me?
0:02:14 > 0:02:16TICK-TOCK!
0:02:16 > 0:02:18It's me!
0:02:18 > 0:02:21# Yes, it's me! Yes, it's me!
0:02:21 > 0:02:25# I'm really, really, really, really happy!
0:02:25 > 0:02:27# It's me! #
0:02:27 > 0:02:31Look, there's the dressing-up room.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33# Let's play ! #
0:02:33 > 0:02:35This is really exciting.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39Let's find out what we're playing today.
0:02:42 > 0:02:48Wow, so I've got a clown's head, a bee's body and a caveman's feet.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50No, that can't be right.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52BEEP
0:02:53 > 0:02:57OK, great. Now this time I have on a woolly hat,
0:02:57 > 0:02:59camouflage jacket and trousers
0:02:59 > 0:03:01and walking boots.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03So what are we playing today?
0:03:03 > 0:03:06I know. We're going to play bird watchers,
0:03:06 > 0:03:09and we're going to go spotting birds. Brilliant!
0:03:09 > 0:03:11So what do we need to know?
0:03:11 > 0:03:13BOING!
0:03:13 > 0:03:16Bird watchers love watching all kinds of birds,
0:03:16 > 0:03:18the more unusual, the better.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22They wear special clothes to make sure the birds can't see them
0:03:22 > 0:03:23and must keep really quiet
0:03:23 > 0:03:26because some of the birds they watch are nesting
0:03:26 > 0:03:30and they don't want to scare them away from the eggs.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33There are more birds than people in the world.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36One of the rarest is the Madagascan pochard duck.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39It's brown with a white ring around its eye
0:03:39 > 0:03:42and there are only about 60 in the whole world.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47You can tell what type a bird is by the colour of its feathers
0:03:47 > 0:03:49and the markings on its body.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53It's not just what a bird looks like that makes it different.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56They all have their own special call.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00So that's what we need to remember about being a bird watcher.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02And do we need anything else?
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Ooh.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08A cardboard tubey thing.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12I wonder what I'm going to need this for. I guess we'll find out.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15We've got everything we need. Let's go.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20All I have to do is put my lips together and blow very gently.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Right, OK...
0:04:22 > 0:04:24SHE BLOWS
0:04:24 > 0:04:27They really won't work. What's wrong with my lips?
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Guess what we're playing today.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32HE WHISTLES You're a train spotter!
0:04:32 > 0:04:34A whistling one with a hat on.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36No! We're playing bird watchers!
0:04:36 > 0:04:39And we'll be watching birds.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42HE WHISTLES I wish I could whistle like a bird.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Instead of doing this! SHE BLOWS
0:04:44 > 0:04:49Don't worry. I'll get you making the best bird noises when I get back.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52OK, I'll keep practising. Or maybe if I do this...
0:04:52 > 0:04:55- SHE BLOWS - Er, yeah, OK. Maybe.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58- See you later.- See you later. Bye!
0:04:58 > 0:04:59# Let's play! #
0:04:59 > 0:05:01SHE BLOWS
0:05:02 > 0:05:04Come on, let's play bird watchers.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Whoa!
0:05:11 > 0:05:12Yippee!
0:05:12 > 0:05:13# Let's play! #
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Right, so, where are we?
0:05:20 > 0:05:24Ah, the great outdoors!
0:05:24 > 0:05:27The trees, the grass, the wind in my hat
0:05:27 > 0:05:31and a chance to spot some birdies. Right...
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Let's see if we can find a birdy.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38- Hello.- Oh!
0:05:38 > 0:05:41- Who are you? - My name's Lottie. I'm a bird watcher.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Ah, so am I. I mean, my name's not Lottie. I'm Sid.
0:05:44 > 0:05:49But I'm a bird watcher, too. We're hoping to spot some birdies today.
0:05:49 > 0:05:50I've got my own binoculars.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53Hang on, everything's really small.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Here.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Oh! Yes. Silly me.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Will you be going to the sanctuary?
0:06:00 > 0:06:04We haven't got time to go there. We'll too busy bird watching.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06No, I mean the bird sanctuary.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10- In there. The best place to look at birds.- Yes, the BIRD sanctuary.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13- That's what you mean. We'll be going there.- Oh, good.
0:06:13 > 0:06:18Apparently, the rarest bird in the world is nesting there.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20I've spent a lifetime watching birds
0:06:20 > 0:06:25but this is the one I want to see the most.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27- Ah, see you there.- OK.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31Bye-bye, then, Lottie. Come on, let's go there as well.
0:06:31 > 0:06:36Yes. And maybe we'll see the rarest bird in the world.
0:06:36 > 0:06:37Let's go.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46Oh, so this is a bird sanctuary, is it?
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Right, let's find some birds.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Here, birdy-birdies!
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Birdy-birdies!
0:06:55 > 0:06:56Oh, look.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58- There's one. - BIRD TWEETS
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Hello, Mr Blackbird.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03I'm Bird Watcher Sid.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Whoa! Hey, wait! Come back.
0:07:05 > 0:07:06HE SIGHS
0:07:06 > 0:07:08That one flew away.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Any more over there?
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Any more blackbirds? No?
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Oh, there's one. It's a pigeon.
0:07:15 > 0:07:19Right. I'm going to take a picture of you.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21Smile!
0:07:21 > 0:07:24Aw! That one flew away as well.
0:07:24 > 0:07:25Oh, what's that?
0:07:25 > 0:07:27QUACKING
0:07:27 > 0:07:29This time it's a duck.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32Right, I'm definitely going to get a picture.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36OK. Hello, Mr Duck.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38QUACKING
0:07:38 > 0:07:39Whoa!
0:07:39 > 0:07:42Oh, no, that one flew away as well.
0:07:42 > 0:07:43Hey!
0:07:43 > 0:07:45- Shh!- What?
0:07:45 > 0:07:46- I said, "Shh!"- Oh.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50You're asking me to be quiet? Oh, OK, I'm shushed.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55Er, why are we shushing?
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Your noisy voice has scared away all the birds.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02And if you keep making noises like that, we won't see a sparrow,
0:08:02 > 0:08:06- let alone the rarest bird in the world.- Oh! I see.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09Sorry. I just got a bit carried away.
0:08:09 > 0:08:10Carried away?
0:08:10 > 0:08:12You're being crazy.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14How can I see any birds
0:08:14 > 0:08:17when you sound like a hurricane in a bagpipe factory?
0:08:17 > 0:08:19I think she's a bit upset.
0:08:19 > 0:08:24The thing is, Sid, what is the first thing a bird watcher must be?
0:08:24 > 0:08:26- Ooh.- Hmm?
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Er... Oh, I remember! Do you?
0:08:28 > 0:08:31Yes, bird watchers must be really quiet
0:08:31 > 0:08:33because some of the birds may be nesting
0:08:33 > 0:08:38- and they don't want to scare them away from their eggs.- Exactly.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41- Look, another bird!- Shh-shh!
0:08:41 > 0:08:43(I mean, another bird.)
0:08:43 > 0:08:48OK. Take your time, be very quiet and take the picture.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50OK. Nice and easy.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58- CLICK! - Got it!
0:08:58 > 0:09:01Oops! Sorry.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04OK. Follow me and... shhh!
0:09:05 > 0:09:06Shh!
0:09:24 > 0:09:25CLICK!
0:09:34 > 0:09:35- Oh!- Oh!
0:09:37 > 0:09:41I'm going to show you the quietest place to do bird watching from.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43You'll get some great pictures
0:09:43 > 0:09:48and, who knows, we might even get to see the rarest bird in the world.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51Oh, stop. OK...
0:09:51 > 0:09:52In here.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55What? Me, walk in there?
0:09:55 > 0:09:59Those bushes? I'm not going in there. I might get all messy.
0:09:59 > 0:10:04Sid, sometimes bird watchers do have to get messy, you know.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07- Do they?- Yes. Come on.
0:10:07 > 0:10:08Agh!
0:10:10 > 0:10:13Wow, a den in the bushes!
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Sort of. It's called a hide.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18It's so we can watch all kinds of birds without them seeing us
0:10:18 > 0:10:21- and getting scared.- Oh, clever!
0:10:21 > 0:10:25So, where are the birds? Do we just sit and wait for them to walk in?
0:10:25 > 0:10:28No. We look at them through these spy holes.
0:10:28 > 0:10:29Oh, right.
0:10:29 > 0:10:30Yes.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33Let's see what's out there.
0:10:33 > 0:10:34If we're lucky...
0:10:34 > 0:10:36we'll see lots of birds.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39And maybe the rarest one of all.
0:10:39 > 0:10:44The Madagascan pochard duck.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48Its brown feathers, white ring around its eye...
0:10:48 > 0:10:50I dream that one day...
0:10:50 > 0:10:53I will see it in the flesh.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Yes, I'd like to see it, too...
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Hang on. That sounds familiar.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03Yes. I've heard that before.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07Oh! I know. I remember. Do you?
0:11:07 > 0:11:11One of the rarest birds in the world is the Madagascan pochard duck.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14Yes, it's brown with a white ring round its eye
0:11:14 > 0:11:18and there are only around 60 in the whole world.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24And I think I took a picture of it earlier.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27Yes. I went up to it and it flew away and...
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Maybe I caught a picture. I'm not sure. Did I?
0:11:30 > 0:11:33Oh! Yes, I did! Lottie!
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Shh! I think I can see a seagull.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39No, look, the bird, the one you wanted to see.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Not now. It's stretching out its wings.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45I took its picture! The Madagascan pochard!
0:11:45 > 0:11:48You can't have done. It's the rarest bird in the world
0:11:48 > 0:11:51and hardly anyone has ever seen it and there's no way...
0:11:51 > 0:11:55SHE GASPS The Madagascan pochard duck!
0:11:55 > 0:11:58Whoo! The Madagascan pochard duck!
0:11:58 > 0:12:01It's here! In this sanctuary!
0:12:01 > 0:12:03- It's here!- Well...
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Tell me you didn't scare it away. HE LAUGHS
0:12:05 > 0:12:10Tell me you didn't scare away one of the rarest birds in the world.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12HE LAUGHS
0:12:12 > 0:12:14I think I might have done.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16Oh! No!
0:12:16 > 0:12:18I kind of got excited.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22Well, don't worry. I'm going to make sure you see that bird.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25I'm going to go out and track it down for you
0:12:25 > 0:12:28and I'm going to make sure that you see it!
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Because, Lottie, that is what us bird watchers do.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33That is what we do!
0:12:36 > 0:12:37- Sid.- Yes.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40- Can we go now, please?- Yes.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48So, the picture I took had a kind of bush behind it
0:12:48 > 0:12:50and a tree in the right-hand corner.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54- Sid, are you sure this is the place? - Absolutely certain.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57This is the place where I saw the rarest bird in the world,
0:12:57 > 0:13:00the Madagascan pochard, or, as I call it, a duck!
0:13:00 > 0:13:03Oh, Sid! Come here, come and look.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06- HE GASPS - You know what that is?
0:13:06 > 0:13:08That is a nest with an egg in it.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12- But you know what makes that nest and egg so special?- No. What?
0:13:12 > 0:13:16That is a Madagascan pochard egg.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19It must have been laid by that bird you saw.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22There are only 60 of those birds left in the world.
0:13:22 > 0:13:26And that egg is number 61!
0:13:26 > 0:13:28Wow! Great!
0:13:28 > 0:13:30- No, not great.- Eh?
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Not great. Oh?
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Oh, not great.
0:13:34 > 0:13:35Oh, no, of course.
0:13:35 > 0:13:40Because if that duck doesn't come back, then that egg won't hatch.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43- So?- So we need to find the duck now. - We certainly do.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45You look that way, I'll look this.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51Is that it?
0:13:51 > 0:13:54- No, that's a tree. - No, next to the tree.
0:13:54 > 0:13:55- Oh, a sparrow.- Oh.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Oh, how about that?
0:14:01 > 0:14:02That's a pigeon.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05Oh. I can't find this Madagascan thingy anywhere.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08Neither can I.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11Oh. All these birds look the same to me.
0:14:11 > 0:14:12How are we going to find it
0:14:12 > 0:14:15and how are we going to get it back to its egg?
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Oh, no.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21Oh, hold on! I remember. Do you?
0:14:21 > 0:14:25It's not just what a bird LOOKS like that makes it different.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27All birds have special calls.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31We need to talk to this bird to try and get it back to its nest.
0:14:31 > 0:14:32- But how?- Hmm.
0:14:32 > 0:14:36If we pretend that we're ducks, maybe she'll hear us and come back.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40Like this. Quackety-quack, quack-quack-quack, quack!
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Quack-quackety, quackety-quack!
0:14:42 > 0:14:46- You're being serious, aren't you? - Yes. You should quack, too. Quack!
0:14:46 > 0:14:49- Quack-quack! - OK. I'll give it a go.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51Quack, quack,
0:14:51 > 0:14:52quack, quack, quack.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55- QUACKING - Shh! Wait. Is that it?
0:14:55 > 0:14:58Oh, no, that's a drake mallard. Wrong duck.
0:14:58 > 0:15:02We're on the right lines. We've got ducks coming.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05We should keep quacking. Quack-quacking.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Quackity-quack-quacking.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09BOTH: Quack, quack. Quack, quack.
0:15:09 > 0:15:13Look, this is no good. It isn't doing the trick at all.
0:15:13 > 0:15:17- Any ideas?- We need to call it. - That's what we're doing.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19- With a proper duck caller.- Eh?
0:15:19 > 0:15:21It's long and brown. You blow into it.
0:15:21 > 0:15:25It makes a quacking noise. But I didn't bring mine.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27That sounds like the sort of thing...
0:15:27 > 0:15:30- Hold on!- What? - This duck-calling thing.
0:15:30 > 0:15:34- Does it look like that? - This is the exact thing!
0:15:34 > 0:15:35I think I'll be doing that.
0:15:35 > 0:15:40OK, well, we need to find somewhere to hide so it doesn't see us.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Right. How about over there?
0:15:42 > 0:15:43Yes, great.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49- OK, you need to blow on it very gently.- Right.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53QUIET QUACKING
0:15:53 > 0:15:56- No, actually, a little bit harder, but not too hard.- OK.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58LOUDER QUACKING
0:15:58 > 0:16:01- Nothing.- OK, let's wait and see.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03- And don't blow on it again.- OK.
0:16:03 > 0:16:04QUACKING
0:16:04 > 0:16:07- I said don't blow on it again! - I didn't!
0:16:07 > 0:16:08Well if it wasn't you...
0:16:08 > 0:16:10Then who was it?
0:16:11 > 0:16:15BOTH: The Madagascan pochard! Sh! (Sorry.)
0:16:15 > 0:16:16There it is!
0:16:16 > 0:16:18QUACKING
0:16:18 > 0:16:23The Madagascan pochard. It's there. It's actually there.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25The rarest bird in the world.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28- This is the most exciting moment of my life!- Me too!
0:16:28 > 0:16:30But we can't get too excited,
0:16:30 > 0:16:33because we want it sitting on that egg.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35Yes, of course. Look, hold on!
0:16:35 > 0:16:38BOTH: Wow! Two Madagascan pochards!
0:16:38 > 0:16:40This is so awesome!
0:16:40 > 0:16:43Yes. Wow. What an adventure.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45But we'd never have found them
0:16:45 > 0:16:49without remembering everything we needed to know.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52Bird watchers must keep really quiet
0:16:52 > 0:16:56so they don't scare the birds away from their eggs.
0:16:57 > 0:17:03One of the rarest birds in the world is the Madagascan pochard duck.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06And all birds have special calls.
0:17:11 > 0:17:12- Hey, look!- What?
0:17:13 > 0:17:15BOTH: Awww! A baby!
0:17:15 > 0:17:19Another little Madagascan pochard.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22Well, what a perfect end to a perfect day.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25And I think it's time we went home.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28Thanks for coming bird watching with me.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30- Thanks for having me. Bye.- Bye.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Then I made this quacking sound like a duck,
0:17:39 > 0:17:43and two of the rarest birds in the world came back,
0:17:43 > 0:17:46- and they hatched this baby duckling! - Awww.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48I know. So cute. And I saw loads of birds,
0:17:48 > 0:17:51and they've all got different whistles.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53Really? I wish I could whistle,
0:17:53 > 0:17:56but it's still just... SHE BLOWS AIR
0:17:56 > 0:17:59Ohhh. Well, we may not be able to make Rebecca whistle,
0:17:59 > 0:18:03but we can certainly have you quacking like a duck. Try this.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Oh! QUACKING SOUND
0:18:05 > 0:18:08GASPS How cool!
0:18:08 > 0:18:10Better than a whistle any day.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13Well, playing bird watchers was great fun,
0:18:13 > 0:18:15but what do you like to play?
0:18:18 > 0:18:23I like to play pirates and fly in a really fast plane.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26I fly my plane like this.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31My - name - is - Harvey - Robot.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Pleased - to - meet - you.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37I like to play robots, and walk like this.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43I like playing with divers and swimming with lots of fish.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46I swim like this.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54It's fun to play. Start playing today!
