"Ewan McGregor narrates a captivating portrait of wild Shetland – the
remote islands at the northerly limits of Britain – and traces the
course of a breeding season from the depths of winter to high summer as
the animals on the islands battle for survival. In never-before-seen
footage, an orca pod hunts seals along the rocky coasts while a mother
otter struggles to protect her twin cubs from marauding male otters and
spring storms. We also meet some comical puffins, spectacular diving
gannets and mysterious storm petrels nesting in an ancient Pictish
tower. The programme also features stunning scenes of human life, from
crofting and boat building to the jaw-dropping Up Helly Aa fire festival
with its Viking hordes."
Available on BBC iPlayer for the next 29 days. A stunning film and one you need to make time to watch – I might even watch it a second time!
