The third of six films depicting the lives of three of Britain's wild creatures.
Mordicus the Buzzard, part 1 by JOSEPHINE POOLE and SIMON KING
Mordicus is the youngest of three buzzard chicks - the smallest and weakest. It is nature's way that he is unlikely to survive. In the nest, high in an Exmoor beech wood, life will begin precariously.
