We can't believe how much this playlist is watched. Each of these films is long but fans are binging on the full stories of the wild characters I follow on my live nest cameras in full. These feature-length wildlife stories allow you to follow the breeding season of wild owl and kestrel families across the span of a year - from the moments the pairs begin their courtship, through their searches for a perfect nest, the egg laying, chick hatching and finally the fledging of each chic.
