LAND OF THE WILD: SECRETS

BBC ONE WALES, COMING THIS SPRING

Following on from the BBC One Wales series Wales: Land of the Wild, this one-off special reveals previously hidden details about the animals that inhabit the country’s spectacular habitats, from mountain slopes to ancient forests, gardens and fields.

Narrated by Michael Sheen and using innovative filming technology, we’re taken beyond the limits of human vision to discover animal stories that have never been told and learn about behaviours previously unseen.

Discover dramas of romance and survival, from courting red squirrels to the male kingfisher’s nest-buiding skills and badgers climbing trees in search of honey. The hidden abilities of some unlikely wildlife are uncovered, such as the incredible peripheral vision of the red grouse that enables it to outwit the world’s fastest predator: the peregrine falcon. From capturing the minute detail of tiny caddisflies to racing drones that can track the fastest land animal, this programme reveals the secret lives of Welsh wildlife in astonishing detail.
