Stunned Countryfile fans do a double take after bird expert’s VERY rude-sounding introduction

COUNTRYFILE fans were left having to rewind the show after they thought they'd heard a rather rude intro.

The moment came during the latest episode of the weekly BBC series.

On the show, they were taking a look at wildlife photography and capturing images of different birds in action out in the wild.

However, it seemed that the attention was rather misplaced following a seemingly colourful introduction.

BBC Radio 4 star and regular Countryfile presenter Charlotte Smith was on her way to meet an expert in the field so she could see just how he takes his incredible images.

The man in question was Richard Birchett, a local photographer but fans heard something entirely different.

They were left stunned when Charlotte appeared to use an expletive in Richard's last name.

Charlotte said on the show: "Local professional photographer Richard Birchett has been taking pictures of wildlife during the hay harvest for the last few years."

One fan instantly took to Twitter when they thought Charlotte had said 'Richard Birdsh**'.

Writing online, they penned: "Richard what? I ain’t the only one hearing Richard Birdsh** surely?"

A second said: "Did this guy on #countryfile just get introduced as "Richard Birdsh**?!"

As another wrote: "Photographer Richard Birdsh**."

Countryfile airs Sundays at 7pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
