In the programme this week, David Stafford goes bird-watching when he visits
Grassholm Island, ten miles off the Pembrokeshire coast in South Wales. The island is home to some 30,000 pairs of gannets - birds with a wing span of six feet and a prodigious appetite. The birds are aggressive creatures but mate with the same partner for life. Back on the mainland,
Ray Mears offers advice to hikers whose backpacks give way miles from nowhere. Also,
Rachel Polkinghorne learns about the Highland Clearances, one of the most traumatic events in Scottish history.
Finally, there is advice from Mr Crabtree when he goes fishing for carp. Producer Kathryn Moore
