The new BBC1 series, Wild Isles, sees Sir David travelling the length and breadth of the British Isles, documenting the UK's wildlife and wild places as never seen before.
Using innovative technology, the series will delve into new and dramatic behaviours of UK wildlife, including our very own Skomer Island and its inhabitants.
The series will also highlight the vulnerabilities of our natural world, the ever increasing challenges that UK wildlife face today and what action is needed to ensure that our island wildlife has a #WilderFuture.
Sir David said: “In my long lifetime, I have travelled to almost every corner of our planet. I can assure you that in the British Isles, as well as astonishing scenery there are extraordinary animal dramas and wildlife spectacles to match anything I have seen on my global travels.”
Sarah Kessell, CEO of the Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales said: "It was an honour and a privilege to welcome Sir David to Skomer Island. After months of planning and secret collaboration with Silverback Films and The Wildlife Trusts, I'm now delighted to share the exciting news that Skomer's incredible wildlife will feature in the new BBC1 natural history series, Wild Isles. To say we're excited is an understatement and we can't wait to share with the world, just how internationally important Skomer Island is. If you'd like to support our conservation work and research on the island, please consider joining us as a member."
The five-part series will be shown on BBC1 and iPlayer in the UK and Ireland and has been co-produced by the RSPB, with WWF and The Open University, working with the BBC and Silverback Films who created the “Planet” natural history series.
