A Wild Irish Year

Autumn (1x3)

Data di messa in onda: Mag 27, 2018

Autumn is a season of change, migration and frantic activity in the natural world. As days shorten, it’s fight or flight time. The animals who travel must prepare for the journey ahead and those that stay must build up food reserves to see them through to the following spring. We visit a woodland to reveal the autumn palette in all its glory. Stunning fungi emerge from rotting vegetation, deciduous trees put on a dazzling display of colour and our native red squirrel scamper through, stockpiling for the months ahead. We meet a family of lively badgers who make the most of the milder Autumn nights to fatten up. We take a look at our night sky and why Autumn is the best time of year to take a closer look at our tiny corner of this universe. As a change sweeps across the landscape our presenters will be right there following the wildlife as they migrate, adapt and prepare to batten down the hatches and ensure their survival.
