Nature & Wildlife 52' 2025 HD

From the tips of their feathers to the muscles inside their eyes, Peregrine falcons are the ultimate aerial predators. But their physical adaptations are only one part of the story. Mastering all that innate power takes a lifetime of practice. There is a lot to learn for a young Peregrine, growing up in a wild valley in southern England.

As the seasons pass, her world expands. Unexpected neighbours reveal the complexity of the ecosystem: nesting woodpeckers, fishing herons, playful kestrels... each filling their own niche in their shared home.

But then, soaring over distant clouds: the alluring silhouette of gulls. Will the young Peregrine be brave enough to fly up and follow them... beyond the Valley of the Falcons?
