Red Squirrels ~ Spirits of the Wood
Starting in spring when a female red squirrel visits a village garden, later to be joined by a male, we follow their adventures over the course of a year. You will see how the red squirrel population has
dramatically declined since Beatrix Potter wrote her story “The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin” in 1903. The American grey squirrel having taken over, outnumbering our native squirrel
66-1, leaving the red squirrel with a fight for survival as an endangered species a century later.

Osprey ~ Spirit of the Lake
Bassenthwaite Lake is the beautiful setting for the return of one of natures most spectacular birds of prey, the Osprey. Persecuted by man in the past, it is over 170 years since these rare birds bred in the Lake
District. The DVD follows the fortunes of a magnificent male osprey, and his two successive mates who have produced 19 chicks up to 2009.
You will see courtship behaviour, including the male's spectacular aerial displays, equally spectacular fishing dives, aerial duals with rival
bird of prey, the buzzard, and collecting nest materials.
