SSPCA team travel to the very north of Shetland to release a huge male otter.

Inside the SSPCA’s wildlife rescue centre, the team rehabilitate and release an otter from Shetland and battle to save the lives of a peregrine falcon and a fox with a broken leg.

Inside the Scottish SPCA’s world leading wildlife rescue centre. The centre receives an unusual case: an otter from the very north of Shetland that has already failed twice to be successfully reintroduced to the wild. Can they persuade this large male that he is a wild animal? And how will he cope with the 90-minute flight to the UK’s most northerly isles? Romain Pizzi, the centre’s chief vet, has to draw on all his years of experience and skills when he tries to save a vixen whose leg is in need of a life-saving operation. And the bird unit battle to save the life of a peregrine falcon with a gun shot wound.
