Gar toirt tro na raithean, chìthear bho dheireadh a' Mhàrt agus na beanntan a' Mhonaidh Ruaidh fo smàl nam falaisgearan gu dùnadh a' gheamhraidh agus sealgairean leithid iolairean-buidhe a' gluasad astar fada airson biadh fhaighinn.

On the face of it, things look bleak and lifeless but wildlife is thriving in this unforgiving place, if you know where to look.

Seumas MacDonald takes us through the harsh seasons to discover that although opportunities may be fleeting, animals and people find ways to succeed here, turning adversity into advantage.
