Logo for Simon King's Shetland Diaries - Episode 2

Simon King, wildlife cameraman and Springwatch presenter, sets off on an adventure to the Shetland Isles to live there with his family through the changing seasons. Simon has travelled the world for 30 years, but his boyhood dream was always to visit Shetland. And now he has the chance to try to capture some of the remarkable wildlife and experience the beauty and the wild weather of Britain's most northerly isles. Spring arrives in Shetland, bringing with it an influx of wildlife from all over the world. Simon dives in the sea and discovers starfish, dead man's fingers and moon jellyfish. He also gets very close to a seal. Simon follows the heart-rending struggle at a wildlife sanctuary to teach Kirikoo, a damaged baby otter, to use her back legs. And with a little help and hindrance from his two-year-old daughter Savannah, he sets up a hide and gives her a lesson in birdwatching.
