Channel 5 - Loch Lomond A Year in the Wild (2015) (4)

Follows the impact of the seasons on the diverse array of wildlife living in Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park.

Chapter 1 Spring

With the melting snow forcing the mountain hares to keep their heads down to avoid becoming a meal for a golden eagle, while pregnant red deer head down to the glens to calve. The park's ospreys return from west Africa to breed, two male black grouse fight for the right to mate, and an eagle chick waits patiently for its parents to return with food.

Chapter 2 Summer

It's June at Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park, and with the warm temperatures come rich pickings. However, for the newborns the summer months are crucial as they learn to fight, find food and avoid predators. Will an orphaned hen harrier chick, young red squirrels, Eurasian beaver kits and two rare osprey chicks make it through to the autumn?

Chapter 3 Autumn

A time for the red deer rut, when stags battle for the right to breed. Meanwhile, two osprey chicks, Lonaig and Murrin, begin their first 3,000-mile migration to West Africa, and cameras also follow the journey of Atlantic salmon and the birth of adders, the UK's only venomous snakes.

Chapter 4 Winter

The winter is mild and wet, which is good news for some but bad news for others at Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park. Cameras follow red deer who are forced to move up to higher ground, while salmon have survived six months without food. Meanwhile, mountain hares turn an inconspicuous white to help them hide from predators, but with no snow they have become easy targets for hungry eagles.

Snippet from Wikipedia: Loch Lomond National Nature Reserve: Loch Lomond National Nature Reserve (NNR) (Scottish Gaelic: Tèarmann Nàdair Nàiseanta Loch Laomainn) encompasses 430 hectares of land at the southeastern part of Loch Lomond in the council areas of Stirling and West Dunbartonshire, in Scotland. It covers the islands of Inchcailloch, Clairinsh, Torrinch, Creinch and Aber Isle, alongside areas of woodland and wetlands to either side of the mouth of the Endrick Water. NatureScot owns two parts of the reserve - the island of Inchcailloch and part of Gartfairn Wood - and the rest is privately owned. The reserve is managed by a partnership consisting of NatureScot, the RSPB Scotland and the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park, along with the owners and tenants of the land under agreements. Within this framework NatureScot directly manage the islands of Clairinsh, Inchcailloch, Torrinch and Creinch, and land to the north of the Endrick Water. The RSPB manages the area to the south of the Endrick Water, and the national park manages visitor facilities on Inchcailloch.
The first part of Loch Lomond to be declared a national nature reserve was Clairinsh in 1958; the reserve was subsequently extended three times to reach its present size. The reserve encompasses a wide range of habitats, including woodlands, open water, grassland and wetlands. Due to its position on the Highland Boundary Fault, the varying natural environments of the highlands and lowlands give rise to habitats and species at both their northern and southern limit. Prior to becoming an NNR, the land was used for farming, producing woodland and to a lesser degree, for recreation.
