The intro, with theme music composed by Jon Lord [wiki], to an 1984 television series based on a nature book by British artist, Edith Holden [wiki]. While I was aware of it's existence I hadn't actually heard it until now.It's unmistakably Lord, with that chord progression into a swell, fifteen seconds in. Very reminiscent of his works in later years, particularly To Notice Such Things (2010).
The episodes of The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady [imdb] have been uploaded to Youtube, by the user who uploaded the video above. I have been informed that it's quite well made, but I wouldn't have the stomach for it, I don't think.
If you would rather examine the purview of the book it was based on, you can see some scans of the watercolours here [morning-earth.org].
