It鈥檚 autumn, and as the wilder parts of the city change colour, preparations are made for winter. Wild ponies arrive, ponds are built, bees are tended to and woodlands are foraged.

As summer visitors leave RSPB NI鈥檚 nature reserve in Belfast harbour, the warden, Maureen, is preparing for the arrival of Konik ponies, wild ponies who will stay on the reserve all winter, grazing the undergrowth and preparing the reserve for nesting birds in the spring. Up on Black Mountain, local conservationist Aaron is continuing his mission to make the hill more diverse by building a pond. Down in Colin Glen, Alannah monitors the river for pollution by looking for small creatures buried in the mud.
