The new series premieres this Sunday
The series, Wild Isles, will debut on Sunday, March 12, following three years of filming. The five-part documentary programme is intended to highlight the challenges impacting the British Isles, as well as celebrate the nature that is right on our doorsteps.
The first episode will also showcase newly seen behaviours, including killer whales hunting seals, golden eagles scavenging in mountains, puffins chased by greedy gulls, and sinister plants holding unsuspecting insects hostage. Sir David will explain that the habitats on Britain and Ireland are some of the most depleted on the globe, and discuss how we can restore them to their former glory for the sake of future generations.
“It is quite shocking to think that we have pods of killer whales, top predators, hunting seals in our seas and a large blue butterfly that tricks ants into caring for its caterpillars, by using deceptive sounds and smells. The wildlife that we think we know well still has some extraordinary hidden stories.”
This week's top Scotland Now stories Across the five episodes, the Wild Isles crew filmed in 145 locations and 96 species which took 1,631 days to film.
