A Whistle Stop Tour around the Coast
Miranda takes the audience around the UK coastline starting from her home in Bristol - around the Welsh coast, across to Northern and Southern Ireland, the Western Isles and Scotland, down the east coast and back along the south coast, before returning back home safe and dry! This tour takes in some of the best stories she has filmed for the BBC series "COAST" and "The One Show" and Channel Four's "Wreck Detectives". She gives a behind the scenes view on how some of the items are filmed and what happens when it all goes wrong!
"Avian Antics” - my passion for birds.
President of RSPB and "Tweet of the Day" regular, Miranda shares her passion for her feathered friends - unusual tips for encouraging birds into your garden and amusing anecdotes from many years of filming birds in the UK for COAST and The One Show. Miranda shares the trials and tribulations of being dive bombed by gannets, trying to sing a duet with a wren and getting special access to a prison to film some of our rarest species of birds.
A consummate public speaker, Miranda Krestovnikoff's after dinner speeches and keynote presentations focus on her experiences of diving, wildlife and filming, as well as her involvement in environmental issues.
Her background in zoology, along with her wildlife experiences underwater as well as on land, make her ideal for many types of events from the highly commercial to the educational.
Miranda’s enthusiastic style and extensive knowledge of wildlife, diving, conservation and environmental issues make her a popular choice as host and guest speaker for a variety of organisations including the National Geographical Society, the Royal Scottish Geographical Society and the UK and Scottish Dive shows.
She enjoys motivating young people to share her love for nature and the environment, visiting schools, universities and clubs. She hosted the London launch of Love your National Parks.
