A weekly magazine about animals with Tony Soper

The Butterfly Business: John Sparks visits a business run by Robert Gooden where you can buy everything concerned with butterflies, including the live ones.

To Let! Old Trees and Nest Boxes: At Cannock Forest, decaying trees are left specially for the birds. Also large numbers of nest boxes are erected over the country for birds. Do they do any good? Do some birds profit more than others? Dr Bruce Campbell answers these questions.

Trees on the Move: Even big trees can be planted on estates, on derelict land and in town centres.

Life in an Oak: Some of the animals that depend upon oak trees.

On 17 March last year, the Longhope lifeboat was called out. Next day, the lifeboat was found capsized. Her eight crewmen were dead. All these men came from a tiny hamlet called Brims in the Orkney Islands, a place so small that it was left with only a couple of able-bodied men. Overnight, Brims became a village of women and children. The men went to sea in the lifeboat as volunteers - not for money, not for glory, but because they simply had to go: it was what Brims had always done for mariners in distress on one of the worst stretches of water in the world - the Pentland Firth, off the northernmost cliffs of Scotland. The women and the children still live within the remorseless sound of the Firth. Tonight's film is the story of a community living by this ferocious sea - and how they survive under the tragedy that has bled them of their menfolk.
