Nature writer Rob Cowen travels to the Abernethy Forest in Scotland, the last tract of wild Caledonian Forest, to tell the remarkable story of the rare and beautiful osprey, and their recent return to the waters of Loch Garten.

Ospreys were once a familar sight in Scotland, but were hunted to extinction in the 19th century, but since the 1950s, they have been making a tentative return to nest and fish in the Abernethy Forest.

Recorded on location at Loch Garten.
