Scotland: A Wild Year
From Friday 27 January 7:35 PM
These are the extraordinary stories of Scotland’s secret wild places and the unexpected animals that live there.
This four-part series reveals a spectacular array of wildlife - from highland red deer, white-tailed eagles, red squirrels and pine martens to coastal dwelling puffins, grey seals, otters, and even killer whales. Stretching from the Shetlands to the far south of Scotland, each episode focuses on how animals strive to survive through four very different seasons in one epic year, dominated by a maritime climate that’s both punishing and unpredictable, where their lives are always at the mercy of the elements.
