Something’s Moving In at Downicary…

Something BIG is happening at Downicary… 2,000 trees are in the ground, wetlands are taking shape, ponds are already behaving in unexpected ways — and something may already be moving in. But first, there’s a problem. Could deer undo months of work? Will spring drought threaten fragile new habitats? And what exactly has been creeping through the site when nobody’s watching? When Chris and Tay check the camera traps, things take an unexpected turn. A mysterious riverside visitor appears where clues had been spotted before… a predator is recorded for the first time… and one all-too-familiar face keeps returning under the cover of darkness. There are strange behaviours, tiny clues hidden in the mud, unexpected encounters, a wildlife mystery by the riverbank — and one reveal that makes the whole day worthwhile. Watch until the end — because the final wildlife reveal is worth the wait. Subscribe for more wildlife, rewilding and behind-the-scenes conservation adventures.
