The Dotterel
The female dotterel takes the initiative in courtship leaving the male to incubate the eggs: they nest in some of the remotest and highest parts of Scotland, where the tallest plants are only a few inches high and the snow lies till midsummer.
DESMOND NETHERSOLE-THOMPSON and JOHN ARNOTT climb the high tops of the Cairngorms in search of this delightful and confiding little bird. Producer JOHN ARNOTT
(First broadcast in Afield: R4 Scotland)
(Repeated: Wednesday, 9.5 am. Wildlife: Monday, 10.5 am)
