EPISODE 1

The Return of the Sun

It's the first day of spring in Wales but winter has a sting in its tail as the country is blanketed with snow. These are challenging times for wildlife such as the Carneddau pony, an ancient breed which lives on the tops of Snowdonia's highest peaks. The mares are about to give birth, but they need spring to arrive, and fast.
EPISODE 2

The Trials of Spring

It's the middle of spring and the brightest and loveliest time of year in Wales. This should be the best of times for wildlife, but the race to breed is on and predators are on the hunt.
EPISODE 3

The Heat Is On

It is June and Wales is at the start of one of the hottest - and driest - summers in a generation. This should be the most bountiful time of year, but for wildlife this summer proves to be more challenging than most.
EPISODE 4

The Gathering Storm

It is autumn, the season of change. Wildlife is on the move, and there are battles to be fought to win mates and secure the right to breed. But time is short as winter is coming.
