Episode 2 is the story of a single, magical, year as the seasons play out through and across the county’s varied habitats. Looking in detail at the lives of some of the area’s most charismatic and fascinating wild inhabitants. Beautifully and sensitively filmed it is an immersive and compelling record of the natural history of Kerry.
Badgers, Red Deer, Hen Harrier and Puffins are among the cast of characters whose lives we follow through the year. Specialist camera equipment provides a rare glimpse into the secret world of a badger clan, and rare access to the Skellig Islands immerses us in the spectacle of Puffin breeding season. Beyond the natural history behavioural sequences, the film provides a profound and emotional overview of how ecosystems function within the annual cycle of life, death and renewal, and how the modern world is impacting the lives of some of the counties more vulnerable species.
In order to authentically tell the story of the natural history of Kerry the narrative is driven by passionate and knowledgeable advocates for the landscape and it’s wildlife.
