Iolo: A Wild Life S01E05 - Episode 5

Iolo Williams delves into the archives to see the fantastic wildlife that he's filmed in Wales in during the past twenty five years. He also explores the changes he's seen in Welsh wildlife in that time. In this episode, he digs up footage from around towns and parks. In one of his first TV appearances, back in 1998, he was chasing lapwing chicks in Llandudno Junction. He also recalls filming kittiwakes nesting on Mumbles pier, and thousands of gulls raiding refuse bags on bin day in Cardiff. Other gems include a barn owl nesting in a tree hole with chicks at Penrhyn Castle, thousands of mining bees nesting on grassland in Pontypool Park, long-tailed tits feathering their nest in Singleton Park, a treecreeper taking a nap in Gregynog Park, and hundreds of bats feeding over Pembroke Mill Pond. Also swallows nesting in a bedroom.
