Yorkshire: A Year In The Wild
TV Show · Documentary · Special Interest

Spanning over 1,400 square miles, Yorkshire's two national parks are vibrant enclaves of natural beauty year-round. In springtime, the dales and moorland burst into life, with both animals and plants preparing for the long year ahead. As the seasons change, so do the lives of the parks' inhabitants. Throughout all four seasons, cameras capture intimate moments tucked away from human sight as the untouched nature reserves teem with life, even though the parks see some 20 million visitors every year.

Adders battle to secure a mate, while grebes prefer a mating dance. On the coast, a quarter of a million sea birds arrive to nest, many returning to exactly the same nest site every year. Up around Malham Tarn, an injured, pregnant roe deer is desperately seeks Spring's green shoots to survive.

    Winter
    Winter is slowly setting in, and for the grey seals at Ravenscar Beach it is time to give birth. Elsewhere, migrating short eared owls arrive hungry, but competition is tight. Roe deer must fend off the cold, but for salmon at the end of their odyssey, the chill means the time has come to spawn.
