26/05/25 - A Wild Night Out in the North Pennines

Helen Millican heads into the woods to search for night-time wildlife in the Cumbrian North Pennines, with the help of a pair of keen naturalists.

Helen Millican heads out in search of nocturnal wildlife, as dusk falls over the Cumbrian North Pennines. Keen naturalists Guy Broome and Jim Shaw lead her through a night-time landscape, which is not only a prolific courting and breeding ground for birds like woodcock and snipe, but also prime hunting ground for barn owls. They enjoy an unexpectedly close encounter with a trio of prickly nocturnal mammals, culminating in a spectacular light display in the night sky.

Produced and presented by Helen Millican for 成人快手 Audio in Bristol.
