It was a good reminder how lucky I am living and working here on Skye as I've pretty much seen everything that was in the programme in just the last week!
Whooper Swans and Barnacle Geese have been departing North, with just a few stragglers moving through the island now. Golden Eagles and Sea Eagles are seen almost every day, sometimes without even having to leave my house.
While we've no Basking Sharks yet I watched the year's first Minke Whales feeding close in offshore yesterday.
Although most of the Red Deer are moving to higher ground now I had roadside views of half a dozen feeding in a garden last week. Seals of course pop up all round the coast and are hard to miss.
And finally, mirroring the events in the TV programme, my favourite Otter looks to have said goodbye to her two cubs this week as we watched her fishing alone along the shore . . . . .
It's a great TV series but why not experience it all for real on a holiday to the Isle of Skye.
