The North German station NDR does a good line in long, interesting but not breathtaking documentaries about the north German countryside (either about nature or daily life). I find them very relaxing.

I also, as a result, also know that there is a population of feral rheas in Mecklenburg. They have taken to it surprisingly well, but the farmers are starting to complain because they eat the oil seed rape...

(There is also, less surprisingly, a population of wolves, but the wolves don't eat the rheas, which is in many ways a shame, as I suspect it would instinctively swing the farmers to Team Wolf. As it is, the government is distributing allegedly wolf-proof fences to shepherds, and subsidising them buying guard dogs).
