Hugh tracks down the wild boar that have returned to the Forest of Dean after centuries.

Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall tracks down the wild boar that have returned to the Forest of Dean after three centuries and gets hands-on with some rare goshawk chicks.

As he continues his wildlife adventures across the West Country, nature lover Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall is on the trail of woodland creatures in the Forest of Dean with the help of dedicated local naturalists.

Hugh goes in search of the imposing wild boar that have returned to the forest after three centuries. And he gets up close to the elusive 'phantom of the forest' - the goshawk, a bird of prey perfectly adapted to hunting in woodland. He also discovers why the forest is so good for insects like moths and beetles.
