Scotland: A Wild Year

1 season available

The stories of Scotland's secret wild places and the unexpected animals that live there; featuring an array of wildlife, highland red deer, white-tailed eagles, red squirrels and more.
Spring
S1 E1

As spring brings warmer weather and longer days, the breeding season begins across Scotland; a female mountain hare tests the virility of male contenders by letting them chase her over the mountains.

Summer
S1 E2

Summer has finally arrived in Scotland, bringing longer days and an abundance of food; two white-tailed eaglets are learning to fly, and the larger female is beginning to master it.

Autumn
S1 E3

It's autumn in Scotland and the clock is ticking; as daylight diminishes and the weather cools, food resources dwindle; animals must either migrate now or prepare to face the winter head-on.

Winter
S1 E4

It is late January, and in the Western Highlands of Scotland is unusually warm, even at night; the warmth brings red deer out of hiding; with no snow or bitter winds to contend with, they’re heading back to the hilltops.
