Born and raised in Norfolk, where he spent the early years of his life, Roy Harvey moved to Lincolnshire in 1964 and has been filming rare birds since 1996, a large proportion of which were in Yorkshire. These have been included in annual video DVD's, the first of which was produced in 2003. However, until now, the Yorkshire rarities have not been presented separately, something that has been done with the county birders - and those that love birding in Yorkshire, very much in mind. The sequences not only feature the birds, but also some of the people that were there at the time.
This volume of Rare Birds in Yorkshire cover the period between 2013 - 2020.
Total running time of this 2 disc set is approximately 229 minutes.
