Birding with Bill Oddie was a British TV programme, about natural history, presented by Bill Oddie.[1] Three series and eighteen episodes were made, which ran from 21 February 1997 to 31 March 2000 on BBC Two.

Birding with Bill Oddie was only loosely scripted and a lot of Bill's dialogue was spontaneous – he would start to talk and the cameraman would film him. The reason that the viewer almost feels that they are in the hide or on the site with Bill, is that video was used rather than film.

It was the first show in the Bill Oddie wildlife trilogy series. The others were Bill Oddie Goes Wild and Bill Oddie's How to Watch Wildlife.
