BBC Two - Chris and Meg's Wild Summer, Series 1, Cairngorms

Chris Packham and stepdaughter Meg discover rare flowers, osprey, badgers and red deer.

Chris Packham and stepdaughter Meg McCubbin explore the Cairngorms. After admiring rare flowers, the pair discover osprey and badgers and scale a mountain in pursuit of red deer.

Chris Packham and stepdaughter Megan McCubbin continue their wildlife-watching road trip round Britain, this time exploring the rugged Cairngorms in Scotland.

Chris and Meg explore the ancient Caledonian woodlands of Abernethy National Nature Reserve, where Chris is on a mission to show Meg a very rare flower. Deep in the forest they eventually find what Chris was looking for: the twinflower.

The next day, Chris and Meg head to the tranquillity of Loch Insh in search of one of our most impressive birds of prey – the osprey. Once hunted to extinction in Scotland, these fish-eating raptors are now successfully breeding in the highlands again.

Their next stop is another loch – the beautiful Loch an Eilein with its island castle - where Chris recounts to Meg a story from his youth, complete with his diary entry from the time. Rounding off their second day, the pair head to a wildlife hide in Strathspey in the hope of spotting an elusive mammal - the pine marten - but they find badgers instead.

Lastly, Meg has something a bit more energetic planned: a deer-watching trip up a Cairngorms mountain.
