00:00My name is Hamze Yassin. I am a wildlife cameraman and naturalist.
00:19And in this series, I'm going to show you the incredible hidden wildlife that we have here in the British Isles.
00:25These islands are full of wildlife and amazing spectacles.
00:31But some are so hidden, they're not always easy to find.
00:36All you need to know is how and where to look.
00:39I'll be showing you animals so rare that we hardly ever see them.
00:44I'll be taking you to places so remote that very few people visit.
00:50And uncovering wildlife hiding in plain sight in our towns and our cities.
00:58You legend! You legend!
01:02Whilst using the very latest technology to reveal a whole range of hard-to-find animals and behaviours.
01:10Look at that!
01:13What?
01:14This is phenomenal.
01:20This is a new look at Britain's hidden wildlife.
01:24Yes! Come on!
01:26Cresty and the Cairngorms.
01:27Deep Winter.
01:53Deep Winter.
01:55In the Highlands of Scotland.
01:59These are the Cairngorms.
02:03Their ancient frozen peaks and vast open plateaus have towered over this land for more than 400 million years.
02:14This is as close to the Arctic as we can get in the British Isles.
02:20The conditions up here can change in minutes and the temperature can drop to minus 27.
02:28It's a really hard place to explore and even harder to film wildlife.
02:33But believe it or not, wildlife does exist up here.
02:37It just takes extraordinary adaptations to be able to survive.
02:41I've come here to try and film animals that are perfectly adapted for hiding in this frozen wilderness.
02:49And just finding them in this expanse is going to take all my skills.
02:54Because up here, it's not just the hills that turn white.
02:58The animals and even the weather itself all embrace the blanket of winter.
03:05I've resulted to just walking around the hills to try and find them.
03:21Because if I just carry my tripod on camera, I'm going to be tired by the end of the day.
03:25Where are you? Just show yourself, please. I just want one shot of you.
03:35The only way to beat the weather is to outrun it.
03:40I'm heading further up the mountain to rise above the freezing mist.
03:44And I am glad I did.
03:50Because just above the cloud line, hidden in the snow, is one of the species I've been so desperate to film.
03:57A type of grouse called a ptarmigan.
04:00The ultimate mountaineer.
04:03Oh, what a bird. What an absolutely magnificent bird.
04:08Finally found one.
04:09The ptarmigan is just quintessential winter.
04:16You can see that it's tucked into this beautiful little sheltered patch.
04:21The sun is hitting it perfectly.
04:24The wind is going in its direction.
04:26But because there's like a little dip, it's actually in shelter.
04:30And it's tucked in there because it doesn't want to be seen.
04:34To stay hidden from predators like the magnificent golden eagle,
04:38you need the camouflage to do it perfectly.
04:42So in winter, the ptarmigan changes the colour of its feathers to pure white,
04:47leaving it indistinguishable from the snowy hills around it.
04:51These feathers grow long and thick, even covering its toes and nostrils,
04:56which helps it tame this brutal environment.
04:58There's only 2,000 pairs of ptarmigans in the whole of the British Isles.
05:054,000 birds.
05:07That's it.
05:08That's how rare these birds are.
05:10But there's another species that has conquered the frozen peaks.
05:18It spends its time on the highest slopes and is extremely difficult to find.
05:24Thankfully, there are signs of its movement all over the place.
05:28Footprints, unavoidably left behind.
05:31The only evidence that portrays the presence of this master of the hillside.
05:38The mountain hare.
05:41I've just come up and I can see a hare that's about 100 metres away.
05:47With my naked eye, I cannot see the hare.
05:53I have to look through my camera to be able to see it.
05:57That's how well camouflaged these guys are.
06:00If I just zoom out a little bit...
06:05He disappears.
06:09You would not be able to see him.
06:13Aren't they clever?
06:15They're so, so clever.
06:17The hare doesn't dig holes or build a shelter for itself.
06:22Instead, it finds a spot with protection from the elements
06:25and scrapes a shallow pit called the form to hunker down in.
06:30What I want to do is go up and try and get him lit up by the sun perfectly.
06:39Unlike rabbits and brown hares, which were likely introduced by the Romans,
06:43these hardy creatures have known our lands for 130,000 years,
06:49far longer than we humans have.
06:52You can see the sun just kissing the top of his ears,
06:59giving him this halo effect.
07:01And he looks fabulous.
07:03He's half opening his eyes, and that's for two reasons.
07:09A, he's half snoozing,
07:11but B, he's also stopping the glare from the snow coming back at him.
07:16You are so beautiful.
07:20Those whiskers put me at shame.
07:24I wish I had a mustache like that, I tell you.
07:32When the need arises,
07:33he can run at speeds of almost 40 miles per hour.
07:37He heads up towards the summit,
07:39almost melting into the frozen landscape.
07:42Just a fantastic animal.
07:52Oh, beautiful, long stretch.
08:01Their feet are so well designed,
08:03similar to a normal rabbit.
08:05But what's different to a normal rabbit
08:07is they have a lot of fur in their feet.
08:10Now, that fur, as they clamp their feet down,
08:14will just spread their weight out,
08:16which means they can actually hop over the snow
08:19without sinking in like I do.
08:26Incredibly adapted for this environment.
08:29But things are getting challenging
08:31for the animals who have tamed these mountains.
08:34As our climate warms,
08:36snowfall in the Cairngorms is decreasing year on year.
08:40And for the species that have evolved
08:42to turn white in winter,
08:44a lack of snow causes them to stand out
08:47in the landscape they no longer belong to.
08:50I'm sat watching it rather than filming it,
08:52to be honest.
08:53Just sitting there looking absolutely beautiful.
08:55But there's a tinge of sorrow.
08:59There's a tinge of sadness
09:00because I know what's going to happen to these guys
09:04if we continue the way we continue
09:07as the human race is doing now.
09:12He's coming towards us.
09:14I think he's going to go back to his place.
09:18He's going to go back.
09:19How cool is that?
09:22He is back at his house.
09:28Go on, darling.
09:29Tuck yourself into bed.
09:35Just wonderful.
09:37Absolutely wonderful.
09:38The highlands of Scotland
09:48were once blanketed
09:49by a vast expanse of trees.
09:52The Caledonian Forest.
09:56All that remains now
09:57are small fragments
09:58spread around the glens and valleys.
10:01But wilderness clings on.
10:04In some parts,
10:05it's even returning in force.
10:19Here, in this forest,
10:20is an animal that's been missing
10:22from the British Isles
10:23for more than 700 years.
10:29It's the wild boar.
10:31It may well be the rarest
10:35and most hidden
10:36of all our big mammals.
10:39But their impact on this forest
10:41is obvious.
10:44This is ace.
10:46You see this?
10:47This is a surefire sign
10:49that wild boar
10:50are using this habitat.
10:52They're using a big, long snout
10:54and they dig up everything.
10:55They don't just root
10:57around anywhere.
10:58They're actually rooting
10:59underneath these oak trees.
11:01And that's because
11:02they're dropping their acorns
11:03and the wild boar
11:04are coming for a feast.
11:06By turning the soil,
11:08the wild boar
11:08help create large patches
11:10of bare earth
11:11for all kinds of seeds
11:12to fall into,
11:13much like a farmer
11:14ploughing his field
11:16to grow crops.
11:17So the forest
11:19needs wild boar
11:20to thrive.
11:21All I need to do now
11:24is clap eyes on one.
11:28In these woods,
11:30there are so few of them,
11:31maybe less than 20.
11:33And after centuries
11:35of being hunted,
11:36they are exceptionally
11:37wary animals.
11:39To give myself
11:40even a hope
11:41of filming them up close,
11:43I need a high-tech approach.
11:49Ben Harawa
11:50is an expert ecologist
11:52armed with
11:52top-of-the-line technology
11:54designed
11:54for finding wildlife.
11:57His advanced
11:57thermal imaging drone
11:59can spot the animals
12:00even through thick forest,
12:02providing aerial support
12:03to hopefully lead me
12:04right to them.
12:06So they're just off,
12:07about 15 metres in
12:08from the stream.
12:09That is incredible, Ben.
12:11And you can see
12:12the heat sources there.
12:14Yes.
12:15You're going to have
12:15that shot,
12:16the wide shot.
12:17See it there?
12:20Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
12:22That is wonderful.
12:25As it walks,
12:25it's so sensitive now.
12:26Are you joking me?
12:28I can see the heat
12:29that is left behind
12:30by its footprints.
12:31Yeah.
12:32I'll try and zoom in there.
12:33Oh, this is phenomenal.
12:34Look.
12:35Yeah.
12:35Even in the thermal image,
12:37you can tell
12:37the size difference.
12:39Yes.
12:39Yeah.
12:40It's incredible.
12:40So we've got five individuals.
12:42One, two, three, four, five.
12:43Is that a fifth one there?
12:45Yep.
12:45That is wonderful.
12:46The population up here
12:47is very,
12:48it's a low density
12:49but widely spread.
12:51We pick up small numbers here.
12:53The locations
12:53where we see them like this
12:54and they're actually active,
12:55it's usually because
12:56they've got like a linear feature
12:57like a river
12:58protecting them one side,
12:59wind blow another side
13:01or thick conifer.
13:01So they choose their spots
13:03really wisely.
13:03So you're basically telling me
13:05I don't have a great chance
13:07because their hearing is so good
13:08and the sense of smell
13:09is incredible.
13:10I would be definitely
13:12due your pint
13:12if you can get some footage of them.
13:15Okay.
13:15All right.
13:16Challenge accepted, my man.
13:18Even with Ben's drone,
13:20it's still going to take
13:21a coordinated effort
13:22from the whole crew
13:23if we are to stand
13:25any chance
13:25of spotting the wild boar.
13:27From Ben's drone flight,
13:29we can tell that the boar
13:31are probably about
13:31150 metres in that direction
13:33but they're through
13:34this right thicket
13:36of a forest.
13:37So what I've asked
13:38to maximise our chances
13:39is to have a skeleton crew
13:41and I'm going to be
13:42documenting everything
13:43on this little camera here.
13:45So you guys
13:47are going to be joining me
13:48and the crew.
13:49Say hello, crew.
13:51You guys are going to stay here.
13:52Now, Johnny,
13:53my other cameraman,
13:54he's going to carry my tripod
13:55and I'm going to carry the lens.
13:57So if we're lucky,
13:58we'll get them on camera.
14:00In the meantime,
14:01catch you guys soon.
14:02Come on, Johnny.
14:03Come on, Johnny.
14:03Come on, Johnny.
14:03Come on, Johnny.
14:05Come on, Johnny.
14:07Come on, Johnny.
14:11That's the drone,
14:16that little tiny dot.
14:18That's the drone
14:18and the drone's going to guide us,
14:20hopefully.
14:21We're going to be heading
14:22into there.
14:24OK, Hamza,
14:24can you hear me?
14:26Yeah, go ahead.
14:28So you're almost level with them.
14:29You don't want to drop
14:30too much elevation
14:31if you're heading to the woods
14:32at a slight diagonal
14:33down the hill.
14:35Roger that.
14:36We're going to set off now.
14:37Ready to make history?
14:38I'm so ready.
14:39Let's do it.
14:39Come on.
14:41Where are the pigs?
14:47They're all lying up
14:48in pretty much the same location.
14:58There's loads of wild boar signs.
15:01It looks like there's a path.
15:04Yeah, they're heading
15:05in the right direction.
15:06If you tell them
15:07not to drop any more.
15:08OK, Hamza and Johnny,
15:10don't drop any more elevation.
15:12Yeah, roger that.
15:13We've encountered
15:14our first situation.
15:16There's a defense
15:17that we have to climb over.
15:19Good luck.
15:19Now, we are deep
15:29in the forest.
15:32The terrain is treacherous
15:33and it's easy
15:34to lose yourself
15:35when every direction
15:36looks the same.
15:39This is where the drone
15:40is vital
15:41if we are to succeed
15:42in this mission.
15:44Oh, there, there, there.
15:45Oh, you're heading
15:48in the right direction.
15:51Yeah, pretty much
15:51the right direction, mate.
15:52Yeah, keep going that way
15:53and we'll direct you
15:54when you get closer.
15:58There's loads of poo now.
16:00Loads of wild boar poo.
16:01That poo looks fresh.
16:08Hamza, if you just
16:08go downhill a little bit
16:09before you get to
16:10the edge of the tree line
16:11and we'll tell you
16:12when to stop
16:13and pop out.
16:14Roger that.
16:15We're heading downhill.
16:19Working up a sweat, Neo.
16:22They're not far away now,
16:24are they?
16:24They're not far.
16:25Yeah, look,
16:26the boar are still
16:26huddled tightly at the top
16:27and the boar's
16:28creeping in from the bottom.
16:29OK, Hamza,
16:31if you start bearing
16:32left now,
16:33they're about 30 metres
16:34in front of you,
16:35straight over the burn.
16:37The burn,
16:39the wee stream
16:40is very, very steep
16:41so we need to find
16:42a place
16:43that we can cross safely.
16:46Copy that.
16:51Teamwork
16:52makes the dream work.
16:54The boar's still there.
17:06Where's Hamza?
17:09He's up, right.
17:13Oh, he's heading
17:13in the right direction.
17:18Oh, they're off.
17:19Oh, no.
17:20Yeah, they're off.
17:24The boar are moving.
17:25As soon as he went
17:26crest of the bank.
17:31Guys, bad news.
17:32The boar have moved.
17:33They're about
17:3450, 60 metres from you.
17:37That's really annoying
17:37that we couldn't see them.
17:40We can certainly
17:41smell them.
17:42If you can get
17:43on the other side
17:43of the bank,
17:44we can see
17:44where they were lying.
17:46Right, guide us to it, then.
17:47This is how close
17:50we came.
17:51The ground
17:51where the boar
17:52were lying
17:52is still warm enough
17:54to glow,
17:54as if they were
17:55still there.
17:56If you go to your...
17:57Straight, straight.
17:58Straight ahead now
17:59where you're looking.
17:59Straight ahead.
18:00Straight there.
18:04There you go, mate.
18:06You're about
18:06ten steps
18:07from where a wild boar
18:08was just laying,
18:09what, two minutes ago.
18:10Can you believe it?
18:18Right here
18:19is where the wild boar
18:21were bedded down.
18:23You can actually see
18:24the impression
18:25of their bodies.
18:27And it will be
18:28really interesting
18:28to see if I feel it.
18:34Can you believe
18:34it's warm?
18:35What a mission
18:44and what a perfect
18:45demonstration
18:46of the wild boar's
18:47ability
18:48to melt into the forest.
18:50For me,
18:51the Scottish wild boar
18:53remains hidden.
18:54The ancient remnants
19:04of the Caledonian forest
19:05are not just home
19:06to big mammals.
19:09Hidden amongst
19:09the Scots pine
19:10is a unique bird
19:11that's only found
19:13in this special place.
19:15And it's one
19:16that I have never
19:17managed to lay
19:18my eyes on.
19:19Lucky for me,
19:21I know a professional
19:22naturalist
19:22who lives
19:23and breathes
19:24this forest.
19:25Coffee?
19:25Yeah, thank you
19:26very much.
19:27It's good to see you, bud.
19:28Cheers.
19:29Legend.
19:29My best mate
19:30and fellow bird nerd,
19:32James Shooter.
19:34We don't get to do
19:34this often, do we?
19:36No, it's nice to just
19:37sit easy for a bit
19:39and let the birds
19:41come to us.
19:42I can hear them
19:42calling already.
19:44They're in the tops
19:44of the trees, aren't they?
19:46Remember when we
19:47first started birding?
19:48Never did I think.
19:50God knows what,
19:5115 years later?
19:52We'd still be friends.
19:53We'd still be friends.
19:54I kind of like
19:58wildlife as a whole
19:59and birds are just
20:00there more.
20:01You know, you see
20:01them more, they're
20:02flitting through the sky
20:03at the tops of trees,
20:04you hear them singing.
20:05But as a whole,
20:06I love seeing everything.
20:08The adders at yours,
20:09they were really cool
20:09over at Kilhoen.
20:10Otters from your big
20:11lounge window at like
20:13six o'clock in the
20:14morning when the kids
20:14had woken us up.
20:15I remember like,
20:16Uncle Hamza,
20:17Uncle Hamza.
20:18I'm like,
20:19hello Brody,
20:20how you doing Brody?
20:21He's like there
20:21in your face.
20:23Oh, oh,
20:23goldfinches,
20:24goldfinches.
20:25Is there even a
20:25goldfinch there?
20:26Oh, there it is.
20:26There's about four of them.
20:28I'll give you that.
20:28Yep.
20:29They look quite good actually.
20:30They are pretty, man.
20:31Well, that's the beauty
20:34about feeders is that
20:35anybody can really start
20:36learning about birds
20:38by simply attracting them.
20:39And if you have a variety
20:40of fat balls,
20:41niger seeds,
20:42peanuts,
20:42water,
20:43you can actually bring in
20:45a pretty good variety
20:46of birds.
20:46I do a daily test
20:47with my kids now
20:48to ID what's coming in
20:51to the feeders.
20:52And if they don't get it,
20:53they don't get supper.
20:55Is that what it is?
20:56Is that what it is?
20:58I'm enjoying my morning
21:00with James.
21:01But the bird I'm
21:02itching to see
21:03isn't likely to visit
21:04this garden.
21:05They spend their time
21:06deep in the forest
21:07and rarely come
21:09to feeders like this.
21:10It's the crested tit.
21:12They're something different.
21:14Little punk rockers
21:14of the highlands.
21:15Oh, is that what
21:16you call them?
21:16Yeah.
21:17Well, if you show me
21:18a crested today,
21:19that will be a life
21:20tick for me.
21:21A bird that I've
21:22never ever seen.
21:24Pressure on.
21:24Finish your coffee.
21:25Come on.
21:25Hurry up.
21:26Let's go.
21:29The fragmented
21:30pine woods
21:30in the highlands
21:31are the only place
21:32in the whole of the UK
21:34where you stand a chance
21:35of seeing a crested tit.
21:38Look at the light.
21:39It's absolutely stonking.
21:41All I want
21:42is a crested tit.
21:44Backlit.
21:45Crest up.
21:47Nice.
21:47I've got a lovely
21:48bit of footage of it.
21:49I'm not asking for much.
21:51Conditions are perfect,
21:53so it's time
21:53to grab my camera.
21:55I'm relying on nothing
21:57but James' local knowledge
21:59and pure optimism.
22:01This weighs
22:02an absolute ton.
22:04I wish I had an assistant
22:05that doesn't complain
22:05as much as you.
22:06I actually don't know
22:08how you do this
22:08by yourself.
22:09We should hear them
22:11in the trees
22:11calling probably behind
22:13in the tops of the pines
22:14on that ridge there
22:15before they actually come in.
22:17So if we just keep
22:17our ears tuned in,
22:19we'll hopefully hear them
22:20calling and then
22:21we'll be able to
22:21kind of get set
22:22and get ready.
22:23Nice.
22:25I mean,
22:26it's absolutely
22:27heaving here,
22:27just those cresties
22:29right now.
22:31It's easier to see
22:32crested tits in winter
22:33because they often
22:34join big flocks
22:35of other birds
22:36like chaffinches
22:37and coltits
22:38roaming the forest
22:40in search of food.
22:44Come on,
22:45crested tits.
22:51Can you hear them?
22:52The phone calling.
22:54They're here maybe
22:54somewhere.
22:56Oh, crested.
22:57Is that crested?
22:58Yes, yes, yes, yes.
22:59That's a crested tit.
23:01Oh my God.
23:02Oh my God.
23:04It's in the open.
23:05Yeah.
23:06Yeah, I'm on it.
23:08Top of that tree.
23:08Oh, wing.
23:10Move it across.
23:12Can you see it?
23:13Yeah.
23:13Top of that tree.
23:14Top of that tree.
23:16Oh, here, here.
23:19Here.
23:20It's on the ground.
23:21Got it on the ground.
23:21Got it on the ground.
23:23Oh, this is hard.
23:25There are plenty
23:26of crested tits around,
23:28but they're so fast
23:29and flighty,
23:30it's making it impossible
23:31to get anything
23:32close to a perfect shot.
23:34It's back in there.
23:36That pine there.
23:36Stay still.
23:37Stay still.
23:37Oh, beautiful bird.
23:41Up at the top.
23:41Oh, God, they lied.
23:42On it.
23:42On it.
23:43It's crest is all lit up.
23:45Quickly.
23:46Damn it.
23:47That happens, uh...
23:48We're fighting
23:50a losing battle.
23:53Oh, it's a lost cause,
23:54this is.
23:55Yeah.
23:55Give up.
24:02Got a bit quiet,
24:03haven't?
24:03Yeah, it has.
24:08Where are you?
24:09Come on.
24:13Come on.
24:13Show yourself.
24:22Stay still.
24:23Stay still.
24:26That's a crested tits.
24:28That's a crested tits.
24:30Finally,
24:31a bird sitting still enough
24:33so I can get a shot
24:34I am proud of.
24:36Are you serious?
24:37Are you serious?
24:42Just 1,500 pairs
24:44of crested tits
24:45breed in the UK
24:46and all of them
24:48are confined
24:48to this small area.
24:50They are totally reliant
24:52on old pine trees
24:54for nesting.
24:57Oh, unbelievable.
25:00You...
25:01Come on.
25:02Yes, come on.
25:04Cresty and the Cairngorms.
25:05You legend, my man.
25:06You absolute legend.
25:08They don't normally
25:08stick around for that one,
25:09either.
25:09That was...
25:10That was a treat.
25:11That gave me
25:11a pretty good view.
25:12And for your first view,
25:14that's...
25:15You are a jammy
25:16so-and-so.
25:17What can I say?
25:18To be able to see
25:19my first ever
25:20crested tits with you.
25:21Yeah, it's pretty cool.
25:23Thank you, man.
25:24You're welcome.
25:24Come here, bring it in.
25:25I love you.
25:26You're the best.
25:27Yeah.
25:28I love you, man.
25:32That is cool.
25:33That is cool.
25:33That is cool.
25:36That's going to go down
25:44in the book.
25:45Life a tick.
25:46It's funny that I spotted it
25:48as well.
25:49Yeah, I know.
25:49I thought you,
25:50being the wildlife guide photographer,
25:53you're the one who's going to spot it.
25:54I did actually see it.
25:54I wanted you to have
25:55that unique experience
25:56of spotting something yourself.
25:57Is that what you're going to say to people?
25:58Yeah, really raw,
25:59a raw Cairngorms experience.
26:02There's no point in it
26:03just being pointed out to you.
26:04That's boring.
26:06You know what?
26:06I'll take it.
26:07This is a bird of a lifetime for me.
26:16Our weather can be fickle.
26:18So if you want to guarantee snow,
26:20then there is no other option
26:21than coming to Scotland,
26:24especially here in Braemar,
26:26the coldest place
26:27in the United Kingdom.
26:28Anyone who knows me
26:39knows how much
26:40I absolutely love this season.
26:43And just look at it.
26:44It looks like a winter wonderland.
26:47But to be honest,
26:48I don't want to leave Scotland
26:49without seeing one of the cutest
26:51and most colourful animals we have.
26:54And that's the red squirrel.
26:55Just this once,
26:58I am not taking my camera.
27:01I simply want to enjoy this experience.
27:06Red squirrels once covered
27:08nearly all of the British Isles,
27:10but now are restricted
27:11to just a handful of places.
27:17Shaila Rao has been the warden
27:19here at Mar Lodge
27:20for the last 20 years,
27:21looking after the largest
27:23national nature reserve
27:24in the whole of the UK.
27:26And I am hoping
27:27her local knowledge
27:28will help me find
27:29these elusive rare creatures.
27:32What is it about here, though?
27:34You know what?
27:34This is the place
27:35to come and find red squirrels.
27:36Yeah, I mean,
27:37I think there's great habitat.
27:38We're standing
27:38in this fantastic woodland.
27:40They really like pine woodland.
27:42They're quite safe here.
27:43There's no grey squirrels here,
27:45which is one of the key things.
27:47Even throughout my lifetime,
27:48red squirrels have just
27:49kind of got pushed
27:51and pushed closer and closer
27:52into these little satellite pockets.
27:55Yeah, so there's, I mean,
27:56a catastrophic decline
27:57of red squirrels
27:58across the UK.
27:59And, you know,
28:00they've been lost
28:00for most of England
28:02because of competition
28:03with greys,
28:04but also the squirrel pox virus,
28:06which is, you know,
28:07it doesn't affect greys,
28:08but is lethal to reds.
28:10Yeah.
28:10So it's places like this,
28:11I guess, in Scotland,
28:13where you've got
28:13these big areas of pine woods,
28:15which aren't so suitable
28:16for grey squirrels,
28:17and they could ultimately
28:18really be the sort of
28:19strongholds for reds
28:20going into the future.
28:22Right.
28:22I want to go and see one.
28:23Yeah.
28:23Can we go and try and see some?
28:24Yeah.
28:24Let's go, let's go.
28:29Even though these forests
28:31are perfect habitats
28:32for red squirrels,
28:33they are still very shy
28:35and hard to spot.
28:37They spend most of their time
28:39in the very tops of the trees.
28:40And in winter,
28:43they tend to stay
28:44tucked up in their nests,
28:45which are called
28:46dreys.
28:49But Shaila knows this area well,
28:52and she takes me
28:53to a squirrel hotspot
28:54on the outskirts of Braemar.
28:59The best thing to do now
29:01is just sit and wait.
29:03Do you hear that, Shaila?
29:14I hear that.
29:19That's the red squirrel, I think.
29:23Yeah, I think that's the red squirrel.
29:26Come on, come on, buddy.
29:28Come on, buddy.
29:33It's the greatest spotted woodpecker.
29:35Aye, I thought it was.
29:38I thought it was a weed pecker.
29:39Because the squirrels do that.
29:40They go,
29:41No, because they're the weed peckers.
29:47Look, look, look, look, look, look.
29:49Just underneath that tree there.
29:51Oh, yeah.
29:52Oh, yeah.
29:53You see him?
29:53Yeah, yeah.
29:53Yes.
29:54There we go.
29:58First red squirrel.
29:59Come on.
30:03They're so close as well.
30:07I know, they've really not frightened
30:08of us at all, really, are they?
30:10Here he comes, here he comes.
30:12He's coming, he's coming.
30:13He's coming.
30:15Red squirrels have an amazing sense of smell
30:17and can detect food buried under a foot of snow,
30:20which can really help them
30:22in conditions like these.
30:24Hello, buddy.
30:26You are beautiful.
30:28Yeah, gorgeous, yeah.
30:29That tail is very, very bushy.
30:35I think the main purpose of the tail
30:37is really for balance.
30:38And you can see that
30:39when they're running along the tree like that.
30:44Red squirrels can rotate their ankles
30:46on their back feet almost 180 degrees,
30:49which allows them to run down
30:51the tree trunks effortlessly.
30:55And now we're getting to see them maybe leap,
30:57show us their great leap that they can do.
30:58Go on.
31:00Tree to tree, here they come.
31:03Whoa.
31:09Oh, Shiloh, this is amazing.
31:12He's coming down this tree.
31:13He's coming, he's coming.
31:15He's coming.
31:16You can hear them clambering,
31:18you can hear their claws
31:19as they're climbing through the branches.
31:23Here he comes, here he comes.
31:25Beautiful, eh?
31:26Man, that is wonderful.
31:31This two, this two.
31:35At this time of the year,
31:37despite the cold and the snow,
31:39red squirrels are getting ready
31:40for their mating season,
31:42which starts in late winter.
31:45It's lovely seeing them
31:46chasing each other around the tree.
31:48This has been a fantastic experience.
31:54Normally, I'm filming wildlife,
31:56but every now and then,
31:57it's nice to sit back and watch.
32:00Look at him.
32:04That was such a beautiful experience.
32:06The short days of winter
32:16only give me a few hours of light
32:18to use my normal camera.
32:22But the long nights,
32:23well, they're a different beast entirely.
32:27If you find a way to peer into the darkness,
32:30there are some pretty weird
32:31and wonderful things hiding out there.
32:33There is a bird here
32:40that has captured imaginations for centuries.
32:43It's strange, it's alien,
32:46and it's almost impossible to see.
32:49They're the only woodland wader
32:50that we have here in the British Isles.
32:53They are the master of disguise.
32:56I can easily be three, four meters away
32:58from one of them,
32:59and I would not be able to see it.
33:01During the day,
33:03this bird stays statue still,
33:06hiding in plain sight.
33:08But at night,
33:09they come alive,
33:11and they head into the open
33:12to feast in the fields.
33:15Thanks to some groundbreaking kit,
33:17there's nothing stopping me
33:18from finding them.
33:20This camera is absolutely incredible.
33:23It's a thermal camera,
33:24which basically means
33:25I can see the heat
33:26that is given off
33:27by the animals.
33:32These fields are in total darkness.
33:35I can't see a thing with my eyes.
33:38But this camera reveals to me
33:40that there is so much happening out there.
33:43Oh, wicked.
33:44So beautiful.
33:45There are hundreds of wading birds,
33:51a herd of roe deer,
33:53and even an otter.
33:57And the bird that I have come to see,
34:01a woodcock.
34:03That's a woodcock.
34:04You can see the side profile
34:05of this particular woodcock,
34:07and as it turns,
34:08you can see that beautifully domed head
34:10and the beak.
34:12You can just about tell the beak
34:13on this here.
34:15So beautiful.
34:16A woodcock is a pigeon-sized wading bird
34:19that uses its long probing bill
34:21to find worms and grubs
34:23in fields and floodplains.
34:26They do breed here,
34:27but in the winter months,
34:29over a million extra woodcock
34:30come here from northern Europe
34:32and even as far as Russia.
34:36It's incredible how I can tell
34:38what kind of bird it is
34:40by its shape.
34:42It just shows how incredible
34:43this technology is.
34:44It really is impressive.
34:50As magical as it is
34:52seeing these woodcock on this camera,
34:54I can do better.
34:56And so tonight,
34:57with Craig Ralston
34:58and a group of volunteers,
35:00we're going to catch
35:01and ring these amazing birds,
35:03all in the name of science.
35:07To become a bird ringer,
35:09you need expert training.
35:11It's something I did
35:12whilst at university.
35:14When a bird is ringed,
35:15the unique number
35:16goes into a global database.
35:19So if it's ever caught again,
35:20we can track its age,
35:22where it's come from
35:23and what it's been up to.
35:24This really helps strengthen
35:27conservation efforts.
35:31You can see Craig is using
35:33a monocular.
35:34It's kind of like a monocular,
35:35but just one of them.
35:36And it's a thermal imaging one as well.
35:39He's scouting the field,
35:41looking for the woodcock
35:42and walking up towards them
35:43really slowly.
35:44And then,
35:45at the last minute,
35:46he'll use his flashlight
35:47to dazzle the bird
35:49and then put the net
35:50on top of it.
35:51Whoa!
35:52You can see the bird.
35:53That's a woodcock.
35:54That's a woodcock.
35:57And it's taken off.
36:01Better luck next time, my man.
36:02Better luck next time.
36:05As you can see,
36:06it's an activity easier said
36:08than done.
36:08But,
36:10many hands make light work.
36:12So let me show them
36:13how it's done.
36:25At least I can answer
36:26the question,
36:28how many naturalists
36:29does it take
36:29to catch a woodcock?
36:38Yes!
36:39Yes!
36:40I got one!
36:41I got one!
36:42I got one!
36:43I got one!
36:45No, I didn't!
36:47Argh!
36:50Oh, that's so close.
36:56There are so many birds out here.
36:59Surely,
37:00we can catch
37:00just one little woodcock.
37:08I got it!
37:13I got one!
37:16I've got a woodcock.
37:17Oh!
37:19Oh, this is amazing!
37:20I am absolutely buzzing.
37:32If you have a look,
37:34the bird is held
37:37between my middle
37:40and index finger,
37:42nice and safely
37:44like this.
37:46Now,
37:46what I'd love to do
37:47is first and foremost
37:48put one of these rings on.
37:51So what I'd do
37:52is I'd gently bring the leg out
37:53like this.
37:55These are ringing pliers.
37:56They're specifically made
37:57for ringing.
37:58And if you have a look,
38:02come on, love,
38:03it's all right.
38:03It's all good.
38:05The ring
38:05is perfectly positioned
38:07so it's not injuring
38:08the bird at all.
38:09It moves freely
38:10like this.
38:11Now,
38:13one of the things
38:13I want to show you
38:14is that incredible
38:15bill of theirs.
38:17Most people think
38:17it's like a chopstick
38:18and they just go up and down.
38:20But in fact,
38:21they can actually bend
38:22the tip of it.
38:23And that's because
38:24when they're digging
38:25into the ground,
38:26they can actually feel
38:27the worms
38:28and be able to actually
38:29bite it
38:30and pull it out
38:31and eat it.
38:37These tail feathers,
38:38they are so pure white,
38:40no other bird
38:41has that white
38:43texture like this.
38:44And they use that
38:45for when they're displaying
38:46and because it contrasts
38:48with a little bit of black,
38:49that white stands out
38:50even more.
38:51And they can fan it
38:52really beautifully
38:54in part of their
38:54courtship display.
38:56It's a beautiful
38:56display to see.
39:01If you have a look
39:02at its head,
39:03its eyes have actually
39:04migrated further back
39:06so it can see
39:07360 degrees around it.
39:10It doesn't want
39:11to have its eyes
39:11at the front.
39:12They're actually
39:12higher up.
39:13They've moved back there.
39:14And because their eyes
39:15have moved back up there,
39:17their ears are actually
39:18in front of their eyes.
39:21How cool is that?
39:23A baby.
39:25After a few measurements,
39:27this beautiful bird
39:28will be put back
39:29in the field
39:29completely unharmed
39:31and back to its life
39:33as a creature
39:34of the night.
39:35I am back in Scotland
39:48to try and film
39:49one of the most
39:50elusive animals
39:51we have in the British Isles.
39:53Most people
39:54have never heard of them,
39:56let alone seen one.
39:57And that's because
39:58they're super rare,
39:59they're nocturnal,
40:00and the home
40:02is in the middle
40:03of a forest.
40:05But every now and then
40:06you find a place
40:07where wildlife
40:08and people
40:09share the same world.
40:11What a world that is.
40:12Jill, you have
40:27an absolutely
40:28fantastic garden.
40:30Yes, we're very,
40:31very lucky living here.
40:32I mean, we're
40:33completely surrounded
40:34by this amazing forest
40:35and the wildlife
40:36is amazing too.
40:38This garden
40:39is owned
40:39by Jill Williams
40:40and is the playground
40:42for one of the rarest
40:43and hardest animals
40:44to see.
40:48Not much bigger
40:49than a cat
40:50and a member
40:50of the weasel family,
40:52it embodies
40:53the spirit
40:54of the forest,
40:55the pine marten.
40:58We've been here
40:59for just over a year
41:00and right from day one
41:02we had a pine marten
41:03visitors.
41:04Wow.
41:04And it was just
41:05so exciting
41:06because none of our
41:06furniture had arrived
41:07and we were just
41:08sat on the floor
41:09and I looked
41:11and there it was
41:12that evening
41:13and it was just
41:14so exciting.
41:14That's amazing.
41:15It started off
41:16with just a single
41:17pine marten
41:18on day one
41:18and it slowly
41:20increased
41:21and we've now
41:21got anything up
41:22to 14 pine martins
41:24that I've been able
41:25to identify
41:26by the patterning
41:27of the hair
41:28and colours
41:28on their chest.
41:29On their bib?
41:30On their bib.
41:30And because each bib
41:31is unique,
41:32it's kind of like
41:33a fingerprint
41:33to each animal.
41:34Yes.
41:34Well, I'm looking
41:35forward to this, Jill.
41:36It's going to be amazing.
41:37I hope so.
41:37I hope they turn up.
41:39Before it gets too dark,
41:40can my team and I
41:41please rig your garden
41:43up with a whole load
41:44of cameras?
41:44Of course you can.
41:45Yeah?
41:45Yeah.
41:46Right, come on.
41:47Jill puts out food
41:49for the pine martins
41:50every night
41:50so we're going
41:51to be positioned
41:52behind these double doors
41:54and to maximise
41:55our chances
41:56of filming
41:56these extremely
41:58nervous animals,
41:59I've brought
42:00a special piece
42:01of kit.
42:01That camera
42:04is infrared.
42:06All these lights
42:06here are going
42:07to be lighting
42:08up the beautiful
42:09little logs here
42:10in complete pitch black.
42:14Preparing kit
42:15is one of the most
42:17important things
42:18when you're trying
42:19to film wildlife.
42:20Whoever
42:21raveled this
42:23before me
42:24made a big mistake
42:26because now I've
42:26got to sit here
42:27and unravel it
42:28but luckily
42:28we've just got
42:29enough time
42:29in daylight
42:30so we should
42:31be okay.
42:33But I'm having
42:33the words,
42:34I'm having words
42:35with my team.
42:37What are your words,
42:37right?
42:38Whoever's raveling
42:39this or
42:40raveled it last time.
42:41I think that was you.
42:42It was not me.
42:44No, no, I think it was.
42:44It's...
42:45I tell you,
42:46I need new
42:48assistance in my life.
42:50The kit
42:50is set up
42:51and the pine martin
42:53buffet is laid.
42:55Now all we can do
42:56is wait for the sun
42:57to set
42:58and for the feast
42:59to begin.
43:08They're taking
43:09their jolly sweet
43:09time arriving.
43:10They blooming are,
43:11aren't they, eh?
43:13I tell you what,
43:15though,
43:15this is the way
43:16to watch wildlife.
43:18It's not a bad hide,
43:18is it, really?
43:19It's a very good hide.
43:20Yeah.
43:21We've got all the gear
43:22but no idea
43:24when they're in the pine.
43:26No idea
43:27when the pine marts
43:28are coming.
43:30The night vision camera
43:31gives us the perfect view
43:33into the darkness
43:34and an early warning
43:35should the pine martins
43:37arrive.
43:40Pine martin,
43:41pine martin.
43:41Pine martin.
43:42Just on the log there,
43:43look.
43:44Oh, yeah.
43:47She's so beautifully lit
43:49on the log.
43:51All her hard work
43:51is paying off.
43:55Wow.
43:59There she is.
44:00Yeah.
44:00It's almost like
44:01they're testing.
44:02They're coming in
44:03and just checking,
44:04going out,
44:04coming back in again.
44:08She's eating
44:09and looking,
44:10isn't she?
44:10She's nervous
44:11about something.
44:13Even though
44:13our garden camera
44:15has done exactly
44:15what we wanted it to do,
44:17the pine martins
44:18have eaten their fill
44:19and disappeared.
44:22I think I might nod off
44:23before they arrive.
44:26You will wake me up
44:27if...
44:28I realise it.
44:28You're not good.
44:30Oi.
44:36Pine martin.
44:36Pine martin.
44:37Pine martin.
44:40Pine martin.
44:41Hey.
44:51Here she comes.
44:57She's coming in close.
44:58She's doing a sneak attack.
45:00Here she is.
45:00Here she is.
45:02Hello.
45:03Hey.
45:06Egg thief.
45:07Egg thief alert.
45:09Hello.
45:10Look how she just
45:11rolled the egg.
45:14She just rolled the egg.
45:15She doesn't want that one,
45:15does she?
45:18Look at that.
45:22Look at him,
45:23stealing it
45:24and he's off.
45:24Hands away.
45:27Hooray.
45:28Look at that.
45:31Jill knows the pine martins
45:33so well
45:33that she's even
45:35got a favourite
45:35among them.
45:37A little female
45:38called Honey.
45:39We noticed this
45:40really, really
45:41scraggy pine martin
45:42coming in.
45:43She was very, very thin
45:44and we were really
45:45concerned about her.
45:46Oh.
45:47But she loved
45:48water with honey
45:49diluted in it.
45:51She would come in
45:52and go straight
45:53for the honey water
45:53and we called her honey.
45:55And after about
45:56a month or so
45:57the next thing was
45:58she turned up
45:59with four babies
46:00on the deck in.
46:01Ah.
46:02So that was why
46:02she was so scrawny.
46:03And can you
46:04identify her
46:05with her bib?
46:06If you get her up
46:06close and she
46:07lifts her head up
46:08so you can see
46:09under her chin
46:10at the bottom
46:11end of her bib
46:12she's got these
46:13beautiful perfectly
46:14formed teardrops.
46:15Amazing.
46:16Oh, a pine martins.
46:16Two pine martins.
46:17Two pine martins.
46:18Two.
46:19Here they come.
46:21This is cold.
46:22Come on, come on.
46:23Yes, yes.
46:24Hello.
46:25Is that honey?
46:26That looks like honey.
46:26Hi honey.
46:28And honey's got
46:29someone right
46:30behind her.
46:31Oh, hello.
46:35Who are you?
46:39These animals
46:40are so shy
46:41and so secretive
46:42to be within
46:43touching distance
46:44of them like this
46:45is really special.
46:48Oh, beautiful.
46:51Not many people
46:53get to see this,
46:53do they?
46:54I don't think so,
46:55no.
46:56I mean,
46:57I don't know
46:58many people
46:59that have got
47:00pine martins
47:00in their back garden
47:01on a nightly basis.
47:03No.
47:06I've got to
47:07look at her drinking.
47:10Can you see
47:10her little tongue?
47:12I can see her whiskers.
47:16Wow.
47:20She's blowing bubbles.
47:22Is she blowing bubbles?
47:22She's blowing bubbles.
47:25By putting out
47:26nightly food,
47:27Jill is helping
47:28the pine martins
47:29get through the winter.
47:30A great boost
47:31for such an endangered animal.
47:34At this time of the year,
47:36it's likely
47:36that honey is pregnant.
47:38So there's every chance
47:40she will introduce
47:41Jill to her next litter
47:42in just a few weeks.
47:45Such a beautiful animal.
47:50Thank you
47:51for an awesome night.
47:54You're very welcome,
47:55but it's down
47:55to the pine martins.
47:56I tell you,
47:57it's down to the pine martins
47:58and you.
47:59The hard work
48:00that you've done
48:00here to attract
48:02all of this wildlife.
48:04To be able to see
48:04the pine martins
48:05and know them by name,
48:07that's pretty cool.
48:09Yeah.
48:10It's pretty cool.
48:11Two years ago,
48:19when filming my last program,
48:21my old friend
48:22and wildlife photographer
48:23David Plummer
48:24set me up
48:25with an unforgettable encounter
48:27with a wild, tawny owl.
48:29That was phenomenal.
48:38That was absolutely phenomenal.
48:41But as magical as that was,
48:44I want to go one step further
48:46and film these animals
48:48in a way
48:48I have never seen before.
48:52It's good to see you,
48:54my friend.
48:54Well, welcome back.
48:55Oh, it's good to be back,
48:56honestly.
48:57This woodland we're in now
49:00is very ancient.
49:01It was listed
49:01in the Doomsday Book
49:02and the owls
49:03that are here now
49:05are the descendants
49:06of what the Anglo-Saxons
49:08would have heard,
49:09what the Romans
49:09would have heard.
49:10Right.
49:12And that's special.
49:13Why do you love them so much?
49:15There's something timeless
49:17about tawny owls.
49:18They're so elusive.
49:19I do,
49:20I do like the elusive.
49:22What do you call them?
49:23You have a special name for them.
49:24The Killer Angels.
49:25Killer Angels.
49:26They come in silently
49:28and they just appear
49:29and they just kill.
49:30That's what they're built to do.
49:32Elusive they may be,
49:34but if you know
49:35what to listen out for,
49:37the woods are full of evidence
49:39of sleeping tawny owls.
49:42That's a jail alarm call
49:43for tawny owl.
49:45It's wonderful
49:46to be able to walk
49:47through the wood
49:47and realise
49:49you have tawny owls here
49:51without even seeing them
49:52because of the alarm calls
49:55of all the other
49:55various birds.
49:56It's the easiest way
49:58to find predators
49:58and it's the way
50:00I find tawny owls
50:01every time.
50:02It's nothing complicated,
50:04it's just
50:05tuning your ears
50:06into every sound
50:08that's around you.
50:09Yeah.
50:09You are the Sherlock Holmes
50:11of British wildlife.
50:12I'll take that one.
50:13I'll write it in my memoirs.
50:15Yeah, please do.
50:18My last encounter
50:19with these nervous owls
50:21took years in the making,
50:22with David
50:23getting them used
50:24to his presence.
50:25So tonight,
50:26once again,
50:27I am using
50:28my thermal imaging camera
50:29That is incredible.
50:32to get a glimpse
50:34into their world
50:35without them even knowing.
50:37And that's something
50:38that very few people
50:39have ever had
50:40the chance to see.
50:42To fully enter
50:43the owl's domain,
50:44I am going to sit
50:45on their level.
50:47Not the most graceful
50:48way of getting up.
50:49Face to face
50:50with a wild tawny owl.
50:53She's going to fly
50:54through that gap.
50:56Yep.
50:57And up onto that branch.
51:00That is perfect.
51:02I hope it takes the weight.
51:04I've not tested it yet.
51:05I'm going to be
51:05like a guinea pig.
51:07The first one
51:08to try it out.
51:08Exactly.
51:10With the hide set up,
51:12it's time to get
51:13myself ready
51:14before the owls
51:15emerge for the night.
51:19So I'm in the hide
51:20at the moment.
51:21And it's completely
51:24pitch black.
51:26The thermal camera
51:27lets me see
51:28deep into these trees
51:29in total darkness.
51:31And the owl
51:32will be none the wiser.
51:34I can't wait.
51:36hearing the blackbird
51:52alarm call
51:53is a really,
51:54really good sign
51:55that the tawny owl
51:56is nearby.
51:57I was awake.
52:10It's showtime.
52:14It's cold.
52:20She's here.
52:22She's here.
52:22You majestic little bird.
52:33You majestic little bird.
52:36Hello.
52:41The famous call
52:42we all know and love
52:43is actually two owls,
52:45a male and a female,
52:47talking to one another.
52:48A twit
52:50is answered
52:51by a faraway twoo.
52:54Their eyesight
52:55is phenomenal
52:57and even better
52:58than that
52:59is their hearing.
53:01They've got one ear
53:03higher than the other
53:04because they
53:06hear the sound
53:07coming into them
53:08at different times.
53:10They can actually
53:10calculate the distance
53:12to one centimetre
53:14of where that animal is
53:15in pitch black.
53:19Here she comes.
53:20Here she comes.
53:28David's intimate
53:29understanding
53:30of these birds
53:30is apparent.
53:32The owl lands
53:33on the exact branch
53:34he said it would,
53:35just a couple of metres
53:37from me
53:37and my camera.
53:45And just like that,
54:00after giving me
54:01the best view
54:02of a tourney owl
54:03I could ever think of,
54:05it's gone.
54:07And I can't wait
54:08to show David
54:09the footage.
54:12Here we go.
54:13Can I look yet?
54:16Yeah.
54:17Wait for it.
54:21Oh, look.
54:27That's just ridiculous.
54:31Just ruffling
54:33in the breeze.
54:35That detail
54:36around the face.
54:37Look,
54:37the bristles
54:38as well.
54:39Yep.
54:40That's beautiful,
54:43isn't it?
54:45I don't think
54:46anyone's seen
54:47tourney owl
54:47like this before.
54:49Look at the heat
54:50on the,
54:51around the eyes.
54:52I am loving
54:53that you are stoked
54:54about this.
54:54Look at the movement
54:55of the head.
54:56Yeah.
54:57Look at that.
54:57Yeah.
54:58It's doing this thing
54:59where you kind of like,
55:00you know,
55:00you move.
55:01There you go.
55:02It's like it's turning.
55:03What do you think?
55:09It's phenomenal.
55:10It's good,
55:11isn't it?
55:11It is.
55:13It looks
55:14picturesque,
55:16doesn't it?
55:16It looks beautiful.
55:20And look at that blink.
55:22Righto,
55:23it's winking at you.
55:25Look at that head,
55:26look.
55:27Happy?
55:34Very.
55:35I might watch it again
55:36before I go to bed.
55:37OK, I like your thinking.
55:38Over this last incredible year,
55:58I've been lucky enough
55:59to travel the length
56:00and breadth
56:01of the United Kingdom
56:02from right here
56:03in the Scottish Highlands
56:04all the way down
56:05to the Devon Coast.
56:06I've been trying
56:07to show you
56:08the hidden natural wonders
56:10of our wild isles.
56:14I have filmed animals
56:16I never expected
56:17to see here at home.
56:22I've never ever seen
56:23bats like this.
56:25We have wondered
56:26at secret spectacles
56:27that can only be revealed
56:29using high-tech magic.
56:31There he is.
56:32Look at him.
56:33Is that not blowing your mind?
56:34I've never seen
56:35that he is.
56:36And captured
56:37unexpected beauty
56:38hidden right
56:39under our noses.
56:41Gosh,
56:42they are beautiful animals.
56:45But for me,
56:46what really matters
