S1E1 Freshwater Animals

Chris explores freshwater wildlife, starting with a breathtaking fishing exhibition by ospreys in the Highlands. In Poole Harbour, he discovers techniques to encourage these birds to nest further south. He delves into the significance of white-faced darter dragonflies, black water voles, and brown trout as indicators of the evolving conditions of our rivers and lakes. Additionally, he uncovers the unsettling reasons behind the extinction of beavers in this region over 400 years ago.
