No - it's an SBS program.
Clarkson's birding tendencies were hinted at in an earlier episode of
Top Gear, with Jamie Olivier as the "Star in a reasonably priced car"
discussing home-grown produce:
JC: "I grew a field of barley at my house and i didnt use fertilizer to
be green and it all came up short and grey."
JO: "Why the hell were you growing barley?!"
JC: "Hmm...well...(Covers mouth to muffle words) It was to attract a
certain species of bird...I'm a bit of a birder...I'm an RSPB member!"
(Six acres of "soggy grey drinking straws" to be exact, "sold for exactly
£325 less than it cost to buy the seed and rent a combine harvester.")
I'm not sure if his reluctance to reveal he's a birder is because of his
well known antipathy towards Bill Oddie, or because some consider birding
to be as "uncool as caravaning".
