Episode Overview
Title: Woodland Creatures Plot: Chris explores the fascinating world of woodland creatures. His first encounter is with the elusive goshawk, a top predator in the woods. Using high-speed photography, Chris reveals how these remarkable birds maneuver through thick underbrush, explaining their preference for Britain's forested areas. Next, he encounters the hedgehog, which enjoys a surprisingly robust national health service, and the fallow deer, an animal that has historically received more care than its human counterparts. Chris also learns that stag beetles seldom venture beyond the M25 in search of a cozy, decaying log. Lastly, he meets a passionate advocate for red squirrels who encourages people to eat the invasive grey ones to help protect the native species.
