A Year in the Wild
S2-E1 Yorkshire: A Year in the Wild: Spring
Episode Guide http://www.radiotimes.com/tv-programme/e/rjz5s/a-year-in-the-wild-episode-guide/series-2
Quote
Summary
Cameras follow each season in the lives of wildlife in the Yorkshire Dales and on the North York Moors National Parks, beginning with spring. Life is starting to return to the region at a time when the local animals must find food, as well as a mate and raise a family. 

Quote
Narrator Sean Bean growls: “the Yorkshire Dales and Moors have been forged over thousands of years. ”Forged”? Ah well, even if the voiceover is unnecessarily florid, the pictures are pretty.

Cameras roam both the North York Moors and Yorkshire Dales National Parks throughout spring, casting beady eyes on Wensleydale's red squirrel population before shifting focus to the coast and the impressive seabird population that roosts on Bempton cliffs. We watch as a gannet returns to its nest to “raise a family” (rather than “breed”), which implies outings to bowling alleys and school runs.

Back on dry land there's some rather lovely footage of dive-bombing peregrine falcons. And Northerners - prepare to relive all of those school trips to Malham Tarn.

Production Details
The Dales and North York Moors National Parks cover 1400 square miles of wild and rugged Northern England.  Separated by only 20 miles, they create a swath of wild Yorkshire stretching virtually from the east coast to the west.  Home to some of the UK’s most spectacular wildlife.

Every year the two parks attract over twenty million visitors…but few get to see what is really going on.  Off the beaten track…far from human gaze. Dramatic waterfalls, stunning moorland, wildflower meadows and breath-taking coastline are the back drop for a vast array of wildlife, each with their own unique survival strategy.   Each episode documents a different season and reveals secret stories about the wildlife and how their lives weave together in these unique parks.

Dedicated wildlife camerapeople using high-speed HD Red cameras record the lives of the animals in their full glory.  Remote cameras allow us to film inside nests.  Macro lenses reveal the hidden world of insects.  Drones, cranes and tracking time-lapses help reveal this truly magnificent landscape.

Yorkshire: A Year in the Wild (My5)

A Year In The Wild - The Dales And The Moors

In a world of unpresidential politicians, ongoing international conflict and men using family values and religion to their own ends, sometimes, you just want to sit down and admire all the pretty squirrels in the trees. Thank goodness for Channel 5, who this week remind us that they produce some top-notch nature documentaries that get unfairly overshadowed by the BBC and David Attenborough. Instead of flying to far-flung destinations to peer at exotic creatures, A Year in the Wild instead sticks to its roots, giving us an in-depth tour of the Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors. Episode 1 gives us spring, giving us a glimpse of fawns in the national parks and an intriguing study of adders’ mating rituals. We don’t get to see much of Britain’s countrysides on the telly, so this is a treat. As for the David Attenborough bit, Sean Bean’s narration is a gruff, warm accompaniment that goes down like Heinz tomato soup on a chilly March evening. Lovely stuff.

Available until: 11th April 2018

S2-E2 Yorkshire: A Year in the Wild: Summer

Today 9pm - 10pm Channel 5 

Quote

We return to the haunts of all the animals and birds we saw last week in the North York Moors and Yorkshire Dales National Parks. The only difference being that the young ones have grown up a bit and the weather’s marginally better.

So yes, we’ve moved from spring to summer as the peregrine falcons nesting in Malham Cove train their young offspring to hunt for food, while the grebes now have cute chicks who ride around on their backs “to keep them safe from predators”, narrator Sean Bean tells us.

For the first time we see a family of badgers led by the “dominant boar” (and I’m sure we’ve all met a few of those).


Summary

Unseasonably cold summer weather causes difficulties for several animals in the Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors, including an injured roe deer and her twins. High up in Malham Cove, two 40-day-old peregrines must learn how to fly, while south of the North York Moors National Park, a pair of grebes carry their youngsters around on their backs.

Wildlife of Dales stars on screen
Quote
AN injured mother Roe Deer and her two young fawns at Malham Tarn were stunningly filmed in the first of a new television series on the Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors.

There were also dippers, curlews, grey wagtails and fittingly, a nest of ravens, seeing as the narrator of Yorkshire - a Year in the Wild, currently being shown on Channel Five, is Sean Bean, Ned Stark in Game of Thrones.

The ravens, jammed into a nest near Ingleborough, managed to survive a harsh spring. The largest of the crow family, with a wing span of four feet when mature, and about the same size as a buzzard, their parents, Bean suggested, may even feed them on dead crow - a victim of last Spring’s harsh weather.

S2-E3 Yorkshire: A Year in the Wild: Autumn

Today 9pm - 10pm Channel 5

Quote

Autumn has arrived but the long, slow summer has yet to loosen its hold on the Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors National Parks. The trees are stubbornly holding on to their leaves, which are yet to turn even the slightest bit bronze.

But time moves on in this pretty, undemanding documentary as Ravenscar beach near Whitby fills with hundreds of grey seals ready to pup and mate. It’s been a long sea journey and some seals, including one slowly being strangled by a fishing line, are pitifully injured.

In Studley Royal Park near Fountains Abbey a bellowing and rather magnificent red deer stag makes his intentions clear to the flirty females in the herd.

Summary

Autumn is on hold as summer continues, with unexpectedly balmy conditions throwing a life line to the roe deer as they prepare for the winter ahead. For other animals, mating season has arrived, making for a dangerous and testosterone-fuelled time at Ravenscar Beach.

I missed the first two, but I did watch the Autumn one. In the beginning, I only watched it to listen to Sean's voice, but I found that I really liked it. Great photography and interesting stuff. And yes, they did have him say, "Winter is coming." Would have been so disappointing if they hadn't, haha!

Haha, me too!  Earlier, when he said, "Winter is drawing near," I was like, "You have Sean Bean narrating your documentary and you make him say THAT? What is wrong with you?"

It’s nigh on impossible for Game of Thrones fans to watch this episode of the series about Yorkshire’s dales and moors without hoping narrator Sean Bean will gravely intone ‘Winter is coming’, but don’t worry – he does!

An article from the beginning of the series.

Yorkshire: A Year In The Wild
Quote
  An hour of truly spectacular wildlife footage proved a delightful surprise as a new series began of Yorkshire: A Year In The Wild (C5).

This was a visual poem, an elegy to the landscape of the dales and moors, with exceptional lenswork that showed us peregrine falcons hunting, red squirrels foraging and queen bees emerging from a frosty hibernation.

Two male adders engaged in a dance-off, a sort of Snakely Come Dancing, to earn the right to mate with a female who was three times their size.

A brood of ravens spilled out of a cliffside nest, loudly demanding to be fed. A roe deer bounced over a barbed wire fence to reach the juicy tree bark in the woods beyond.

Because this wasn’t on the Beeb, it was not David Attenborough describing the scenes, but actor Sean Bean, whose earthy Yorkshire growl carries echoes of his role as a warlord in the blood-drenched fantasy series Game Of Thrones

When flurries of snow fell in April and covered the nesting lapwings, Sean snarled: ‘Winter returns!’

For a moment this wasn’t Wensleydale, but Westeros — and the lapwings were in danger of being roasted by dragons or trampled by armies of the undead.

Clearly, Channel 5 has some way to go before it perfects the art of the soothing nature documentary.

S2-E4 Yorkshire: A Year in the Wild: Winter   Today 9pm - 10pm Channel 5

Quote

Winter was slow to arrive in the Yorkshire Dales and Moors last year. But despite autumnal temperatures in November, the wildlife must still prepare for the freezing winds and blizzards they know will batter the parks when winter does come.

The grey seal pups suckle greedily before their mothers leave them for the next round of breeding, short-eared owls soar elegantly over fields desperately searching for voles, and Scandinavian goldeneye ducks posture comically in the hope of attracting a new mate. Eventually, heavy snow falls and many youngsters – including the pair of roe deer we’ve followed through the series – struggle to survive.

Summary

Despite its delayed arrival, for the Grey Seals at Ravenscar Beach winter means it is time to give birth. The newborn pups are now on the fast track to adulthood, with just three weeks to gain as much weight as possible before their mothers move on. Cameras also follow the progress of many short-eared owls that land on the moors after the long flight over the North Sea from northern Europe.
