-I'm looking for extraordinary -animals living in Wales. | 0:00:06 | 0:00:09 | |
-Some that have made their way -back here after a long absence. | 0:00:13 | 0:00:18 | |
-Others that display -unusual behaviour. | 0:00:20 | 0:00:23 | |
-And timid creatures -that only venture out nocturnally. | 0:00:25 | 0:00:28 | |
-In this episode, -I'm searching for deer. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:39 | |
-You can come across deer in Wales -in places such as Margam Park... | 0:00:39 | 0:00:45 | |
-..as we see here... | 0:00:45 | 0:00:47 | |
-..or in Dinefwr, -Coed-y-Brenin and Powis Castle. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:51 | |
-But I'm searching for a rarer breed -that's much more timid. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:57 | |
-Deer that have been -introduced to Wales... | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
-..are the breeds you see -on the Margam Park estate. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:06 | |
-A mixture -of fallow and Pere David deer. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:09 | |
-Fallow deer came from Europe -1,000 years ago by the Normans. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:14 | |
-The Pere David -were introduced a century ago... | 0:01:15 | 0:01:19 | |
-..from Asia. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:21 | |
-I'm searching for much smaller deer. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:24 | |
-A breed that is native to Wales... | 0:01:25 | 0:01:28 | |
-..but died out -during the Middle Ages... | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
-..is the roe deer... | 0:01:31 | 0:01:33 | |
-..and the muntjac from Asia. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:36 | |
-The muntjac were introduced to -Britain more than a century ago... | 0:01:36 | 0:01:40 | |
-..and fled from -England's country estates to Wales. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:45 | |
-Muntjac have also been spotted -in various locations in South Wales. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:50 | |
-They have unexpectedly -been spotted in Pembrokeshire too. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:54 | |
-Carol Owen saw two deer -near Pentre Ifan. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:58 | |
-I didn't know -muntjac existed in Pembrokeshire... | 0:01:58 | 0:02:02 | |
-..until I heard you'd seen them. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:04 | |
-I've known this area well -for 15 years... | 0:02:05 | 0:02:08 | |
-..and eight years ago I saw these -deer, which really surprised me. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:13 | |
-I watched them for some time to -make sure I hadn't made a mistake. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:18 | |
-But they were definitely muntjac. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:19 | |
-But they were definitely muntjac. - -They're very small creatures. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:21 | |
-Yes, they're very small deer. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:24 | |
-Something disturbed them... | 0:02:24 | 0:02:26 | |
-..and they -disappeared into the trees. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
-I've not seen them since. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:32 | |
-I've not seen them since. - -So you saw two eight years ago? | 0:02:32 | 0:02:34 | |
-You'd never seen them before -and you haven't seen them since. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:38 | |
-It's very odd, isn't it? | 0:02:38 | 0:02:40 | |
-One morning you happened to be here -at the right time. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:44 | |
-Yes, it was early morning -when I saw them. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
-How on earth am I going to find -muntjac in Pembrokeshire... | 0:02:47 | 0:02:51 | |
-..if you've only seen them once -eight years ago? | 0:02:52 | 0:02:55 | |
-Where are they now? | 0:02:55 | 0:02:57 | |
-Nearby Pentre Ifan -is the historic Pengelli Forest. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:02 | |
-It's the perfect habitat for deer... | 0:03:03 | 0:03:05 | |
-..and idyllic in summer. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:07 | |
-But not always in winter. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:12 | |
-Something's caught my eye. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:21 | |
-I thought -it might have been old deer tracks. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:24 | |
-But on closer inspection, -it's just a footprint. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:28 | |
-The rain has washed part of it away. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:31 | |
-It's of no relevance. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:35 | |
-But it's the perfect soft ground. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:37 | |
-Tracks -are more pronounced in soft ground. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:41 | |
-Clearer tracks... | 0:03:41 | 0:03:43 | |
-..make it easier to distinguish -between one breed and another. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:48 | |
-It's not the best weather -to search for animal tracks. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:55 | |
-The rain will have washed away -any traces on the ground. | 0:03:55 | 0:03:59 | |
-These are -the only tracks I've found. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:04 | |
-Can you see the marks? There are -some here and more the other side. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:09 | |
-These aren't fresh. They're older -than the past two days or so. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:14 | |
-But they're not too old either. The -moss on the floor is still alive. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:19 | |
-Animals often use -the same paths as humans. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:27 | |
-It's possible -that deer walk along these paths. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:31 | |
-There's only one way -of proving that. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:34 | |
-By positioning hidden cameras. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:36 | |
-This is an interesting place. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:50 | |
-The trees are being felled. -They're coppicing. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:55 | |
-They did it centuries ago... | 0:04:55 | 0:04:57 | |
-..to encourage vegetation. | 0:04:58 | 0:05:00 | |
-It's very good -for flowers and so on. | 0:05:00 | 0:05:03 | |
-If you went back four or five -thousand years in this country... | 0:05:03 | 0:05:07 | |
-..the majority of the land -was covered by trees. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:11 | |
-The earliest inhabitants... | 0:05:11 | 0:05:14 | |
-..did the same. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:16 | |
-They burnt a small piece of wood... | 0:05:17 | 0:05:19 | |
-..knowing it would attract deer -to feed from the new vegetation. | 0:05:19 | 0:05:24 | |
-I don't know if it'll work... | 0:05:24 | 0:05:26 | |
-..but the way I'm thinking now... | 0:05:26 | 0:05:29 | |
-..I'll put one camera here to see -if they come here at night to graze. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:34 | |
-I'll attach a camera to that tree. | 0:05:34 | 0:05:36 | |
-What a difference a day makes. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:03 | |
-It was pouring down with rain... | 0:06:03 | 0:06:05 | |
-..and the trees -were bending from side to side. | 0:06:06 | 0:06:09 | |
-It's silent this morning. | 0:06:09 | 0:06:12 | |
-The sky is blue. It's wonderful -being outdoors on a day like today. | 0:06:12 | 0:06:18 | |
-With a bit of luck, a deer might -have ventured out last night... | 0:06:18 | 0:06:23 | |
-..or early this morning. | 0:06:23 | 0:06:25 | |
-I've downloaded the footage from the -cameras to see what we've captured. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:32 | |
-That's the first. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:34 | |
-This was taken in daylight. | 0:06:34 | 0:06:36 | |
-If someone was walking by, -we wouldn't see a thing. | 0:06:37 | 0:06:41 | |
-At least it works. -We're getting a clear picture. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:45 | |
-We'll try the same camera again. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:48 | |
-That's me... | 0:06:49 | 0:06:51 | |
-..coming to get it! | 0:06:51 | 0:06:53 | |
-Yes, that must be me -coming to get it. | 0:06:53 | 0:06:56 | |
-There's nothing on that one. -I'm disappointed about that. | 0:06:56 | 0:07:00 | |
-Let's check the third camera. -This is filming the exposed area. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:05 | |
-There's nothing on that either. | 0:07:08 | 0:07:10 | |
-No, nothing. Very disappointing. | 0:07:11 | 0:07:13 | |
-To tell you the truth, -I don't know where to go from here. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:24 | |
-There was no footage, -although it doesn't prove much... | 0:07:25 | 0:07:29 | |
-..because the weather was so bad. | 0:07:29 | 0:07:31 | |
-I wonder if it's worth -setting up the cameras once again... | 0:07:33 | 0:07:38 | |
-..or would it be better -to find another location... | 0:07:38 | 0:07:42 | |
-..where deer have been spotted -more recently and left tracks? | 0:07:42 | 0:07:46 | |
-I'm going to do both. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:49 | |
-I'll leave cameras -in Pengelli for a week... | 0:07:49 | 0:07:53 | |
-..in case the deer show up. | 0:07:54 | 0:07:55 | |
-But only a fox -and a blackbird go by. | 0:07:59 | 0:08:02 | |
-After disappointment -in Pembrokeshire... | 0:08:13 | 0:08:16 | |
-..I head eastwards -towards Porthcawl. | 0:08:16 | 0:08:18 | |
-Roe and muntjac deer -have recently been spotted... | 0:08:19 | 0:08:22 | |
-..in this forest near the coast. | 0:08:23 | 0:08:25 | |
-This area is vast. The trees extend -all the way down to the sand dunes. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:33 | |
-The beach is beyond the forest. | 0:08:33 | 0:08:36 | |
-I haven't noticed many tracks... | 0:08:36 | 0:08:39 | |
-..but I'm sensing -it's a good spot for deer. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:43 | |
-I think the best place -to position a camera... | 0:08:43 | 0:08:46 | |
-..would be somewhere like this. | 0:08:46 | 0:08:49 | |
-There are tracks leading to here, -so we're bound to find something. | 0:08:49 | 0:08:53 | |
-Seeing a fox -would usually lift my spirits... | 0:09:01 | 0:09:05 | |
-..but not this time. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:07 | |
-What a result! This is just -the creature I'm searching for. | 0:09:09 | 0:09:14 | |
-A roe deer. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:16 | |
-It's only recently -that this native breed... | 0:09:18 | 0:09:21 | |
-..has returned -to Wales from England... | 0:09:21 | 0:09:24 | |
-..after becoming extinct -centuries ago due to overhunting. | 0:09:24 | 0:09:29 | |
-It proves -the breed exists in West Glamorgan. | 0:09:31 | 0:09:34 | |
-Great news for Wales's wildlife. | 0:09:34 | 0:09:37 | |
-I had to make do with -only a glimpse of the roe... | 0:09:37 | 0:09:40 | |
-..and no muntjac sightings. | 0:09:40 | 0:09:42 | |
-I'm now searching an area... | 0:09:50 | 0:09:52 | |
-..where there are -a greater number of both breeds. | 0:09:52 | 0:09:55 | |
-I've moved closer -to the English border... | 0:09:55 | 0:09:58 | |
-..to the county of Radnorshire. | 0:09:59 | 0:10:01 | |
-Malcolm Jarman, who works -for the Forestry Commission... | 0:10:01 | 0:10:05 | |
-..has seen the two species -in Knill Wood. | 0:10:06 | 0:10:09 | |
-How many different breeds of deer... | 0:10:12 | 0:10:15 | |
-..can be found here? | 0:10:15 | 0:10:17 | |
-Muntjac and roe, -but roe is the most common. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:21 | |
-Do you see many muntjac? | 0:10:21 | 0:10:23 | |
-Not very often, no. | 0:10:24 | 0:10:26 | |
-They're difficult to find, -even if there are plenty of them. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:30 | |
-Finding them is predominantly -down to luck and coincidence. | 0:10:30 | 0:10:34 | |
-Yes, you're right, Iolo. | 0:10:35 | 0:10:37 | |
-They disappear in a flash too. | 0:10:37 | 0:10:39 | |
-Once they raise their tail -in the air, they're gone. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:43 | |
-Malcolm has set up three cameras... | 0:10:47 | 0:10:51 | |
-..in this area here -because he knows the forest well. | 0:10:52 | 0:10:55 | |
-He knows the deer come out from the -trees to graze on the grass here... | 0:10:56 | 0:11:00 | |
-..before retreating. | 0:11:00 | 0:11:02 | |
-Something fresh -has passed through here, Iolo. | 0:11:04 | 0:11:08 | |
-That's definitely deer. | 0:11:09 | 0:11:11 | |
-Roe deer. | 0:11:12 | 0:11:14 | |
-Where next? | 0:11:15 | 0:11:16 | |
-Down here. -Deer have passed by this way. | 0:11:17 | 0:11:19 | |
-There's been a lot of movement. | 0:11:19 | 0:11:22 | |
-Here's the other. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:25 | |
-Are there tracks nearby? | 0:11:26 | 0:11:28 | |
-Something's been through here. | 0:11:28 | 0:11:30 | |
-I'm sure -you've seen plenty of roe deer. | 0:11:31 | 0:11:34 | |
-But have you seen any muntjac? | 0:11:34 | 0:11:37 | |
-A couple. I've seen a couple go by. | 0:11:37 | 0:11:40 | |
-But I've seen plenty -of foxes and badgers. | 0:11:40 | 0:11:43 | |
-You haven't seen -any big cats or pine martins? | 0:11:43 | 0:11:48 | |
-No, nothing like that. | 0:11:48 | 0:11:50 | |
-That's it. We'll stick that there. | 0:11:52 | 0:11:55 | |
-The other's over here. | 0:11:55 | 0:11:57 | |
-Something's gone straight past. | 0:11:59 | 0:12:00 | |
-Roe deer again, no doubt. | 0:12:01 | 0:12:04 | |
-Yes. | 0:12:05 | 0:12:07 | |
-Those are fresh tracks. | 0:12:07 | 0:12:09 | |
-Yes, they must've been here -while we were making our way here. | 0:12:09 | 0:12:13 | |
-They probably heard our voices. | 0:12:14 | 0:12:16 | |
-I'm trying -not only to get shots like this... | 0:12:16 | 0:12:22 | |
-..but I'm trying -to capture roe deer... | 0:12:22 | 0:12:25 | |
-..and muntjac in daylight. | 0:12:25 | 0:12:29 | |
-How easy a task -do you think that will be? | 0:12:29 | 0:12:32 | |
-Will it be difficult? | 0:12:32 | 0:12:34 | |
-If you see roe deer -at this time of year... | 0:12:34 | 0:12:37 | |
-..they move about a lot -during the daytime. | 0:12:37 | 0:12:41 | |
-I'm not sure about the muntjac. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:44 | |
-They're bound to move about too. | 0:12:44 | 0:12:46 | |
-Is there somewhere else you know of -within your patch... | 0:12:47 | 0:12:51 | |
-..where muntjac have been spotted? | 0:12:51 | 0:12:53 | |
-Some have been seen in the woods -over here but it's private property. | 0:12:54 | 0:12:59 | |
-The owner has seen some... | 0:12:59 | 0:13:01 | |
-..and I've seen some -further up the forest. | 0:13:01 | 0:13:04 | |
-In Wales? | 0:13:05 | 0:13:06 | |
-In Wales? - -Yes. | 0:13:06 | 0:13:07 | |
-Good, because I don't want to go -to England - there are plenty there! | 0:13:07 | 0:13:12 | |
-Only the Welsh ones count! | 0:13:12 | 0:13:14 | |
-Malcolm has set up the hidden -cameras before it started snowing. | 0:13:18 | 0:13:22 | |
-The roe deer, -Knill Wood's most common breed... | 0:13:25 | 0:13:28 | |
-..was first to appear. | 0:13:28 | 0:13:30 | |
-A native Welsh breed -coming back home to Wales... | 0:13:30 | 0:13:35 | |
-..after a long absence. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:37 | |
-The next animal captured on camera -was a much more common creature. | 0:13:37 | 0:13:42 | |
-A rabbit. | 0:13:42 | 0:13:44 | |
-Suddenly the weather changes. | 0:13:45 | 0:13:47 | |
-It starts snowing. | 0:13:49 | 0:13:51 | |
-But the weather -doesn't affect nocturnal creatures. | 0:13:55 | 0:13:59 | |
-By morning, -a blanket of snow covers the ground. | 0:14:30 | 0:14:33 | |
-Malcolm was spot-on. | 0:14:38 | 0:14:40 | |
-Two roe deer pass the camera -minutes before we arrive. | 0:14:40 | 0:14:45 | |

-I'm searching for Wales's rarest -deer - the roe and the muntjac. | 0:14:54 | 0:14:59 | |
-I've come to Whitebrook Forest -in Gwent with Adrian Thomas... | 0:14:59 | 0:15:03 | |
-..the Forestry Commission's -deer tracker. | 0:15:04 | 0:15:07 | |
-You've been working in this area -for 15 years now. | 0:15:11 | 0:15:14 | |
-How often do you see muntjac? | 0:15:14 | 0:15:17 | |
-I've seen -one muntjac in 15 years, Iolo. | 0:15:17 | 0:15:20 | |
-I've heard them barking, I've seen -their tiny slots in the mud... | 0:15:20 | 0:15:25 | |
-..but only once -have I seen a muntjac. | 0:15:25 | 0:15:28 | |
-That puts it all into perspective. | 0:15:28 | 0:15:31 | |
-Once in 15 years. | 0:15:32 | 0:15:34 | |
-No-one is more equipped -to track deer... | 0:15:37 | 0:15:40 | |
-..than Adrian. | 0:15:41 | 0:15:43 | |
-He's come across fresh tracks. | 0:15:46 | 0:15:49 | |
-This looks pretty fresh, doesn't it? | 0:15:49 | 0:15:52 | |
-It's come down in the recent winds. | 0:15:52 | 0:15:54 | |
-A tree's fallen. | 0:15:55 | 0:15:56 | |
-There was a storm last week -and this has fallen recently. | 0:15:57 | 0:16:01 | |
-It's covered in ivy. | 0:16:01 | 0:16:04 | |
-Deer love ivy. | 0:16:05 | 0:16:07 | |
-You can see -the top has been bitten off. | 0:16:09 | 0:16:13 | |
-This one too. | 0:16:13 | 0:16:15 | |
-Two more as well. | 0:16:15 | 0:16:18 | |
-Something's been here... | 0:16:18 | 0:16:21 | |
-..and nibbled a few pieces -but much of it is still intact. | 0:16:21 | 0:16:25 | |
-Adrian said if fallow deer -had come across this... | 0:16:25 | 0:16:30 | |
-..they'd have eaten it all. | 0:16:30 | 0:16:32 | |
-He believes -a muntjac has been here... | 0:16:32 | 0:16:35 | |
-..and nibbled off small pieces. | 0:16:36 | 0:16:38 | |
-This is the most recent trace -of muntjac I've seen so far. | 0:16:39 | 0:16:43 | |
-I position a hidden camera and leave -a handful of ivy to attract them. | 0:16:46 | 0:16:52 | |
-There we go, -it's pointing at the brook. | 0:16:57 | 0:17:00 | |
-If something stops for a drink of -water, it'll be captured on camera. | 0:17:01 | 0:17:06 | |
-But there was no sign -of the muntjac. | 0:17:13 | 0:17:16 | |
-It's mid-January -and I'm back in Whitebrook... | 0:17:22 | 0:17:25 | |
-..to search for more muntjac tracks. | 0:17:25 | 0:17:28 | |
-The snow will aid my search. | 0:17:32 | 0:17:34 | |
-A month's gone by -and it's a totally different scene. | 0:17:43 | 0:17:47 | |
-There's a heavy covering of snow... | 0:17:47 | 0:17:50 | |
-..so when it comes to tracking... | 0:17:50 | 0:17:52 | |
-..you can follow -the tracks of every animal... | 0:17:53 | 0:17:56 | |
-..that has wandered -through the forest. | 0:17:56 | 0:17:59 | |
-It's obvious from this path -that a dog has walked along here. | 0:17:59 | 0:18:03 | |
-But coming through here -and crossing the path... | 0:18:03 | 0:18:07 | |
-..are deer tracks -leading into the distance. | 0:18:07 | 0:18:11 | |
-They're quite large, so they -must belong to fallow deer. | 0:18:11 | 0:18:15 | |
-There are plenty -of fallow deer tracks... | 0:18:15 | 0:18:18 | |
-..but no traces of muntjac. | 0:18:18 | 0:18:21 | |
-It's silent in the forest... | 0:18:23 | 0:18:25 | |
-..apart from occasional bird sounds. | 0:18:26 | 0:18:28 | |
-This is a female great spotted -woodpecker searching for food. | 0:18:29 | 0:18:33 | |
-I've walked around the forest... | 0:18:41 | 0:18:43 | |
-..and followed some of the paths -backwards and forwards. | 0:18:43 | 0:18:47 | |
-All the deer tracks I can see here -belong to the fallow deer. | 0:18:47 | 0:18:52 | |
-They're very common -and relatively easy to find... | 0:18:52 | 0:18:56 | |
-..unlike the roe deer, -which is tricky to find. | 0:18:56 | 0:19:00 | |
-Roe deer -is a rare breed in this area. | 0:19:00 | 0:19:04 | |
-The muntjac is even rarer. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:06 | |
-Of all the animals -I'm searching for... | 0:19:06 | 0:19:10 | |
-..the muntjac -is by far the most elusive. | 0:19:10 | 0:19:13 | |
-But there's another location in -which the muntjac has been spotted. | 0:19:16 | 0:19:21 | |
-A stone's throw from Whitebrook, -close to the town of Monmouth... | 0:19:24 | 0:19:29 | |
-..is a forest which bridges -the Welsh/English border. | 0:19:29 | 0:19:33 | |
-We believe this is where -the muntjac settled... | 0:19:33 | 0:19:37 | |
-..when they escaped -from England's country parks. | 0:19:37 | 0:19:40 | |
-These are deer tracks. | 0:19:48 | 0:19:50 | |
-It looks like a fallow deer -rather than a muntjac. | 0:19:53 | 0:19:57 | |
-Muntjac tracks are much smaller -because they're slight creatures. | 0:19:57 | 0:20:01 | |
-More deer tracks here. | 0:20:02 | 0:20:05 | |
-Walking through the snow always -presents something unexpected. | 0:20:09 | 0:20:14 | |
-This is a goldcrested wren -searching for food on the ground. | 0:20:16 | 0:20:20 | |
-It usually sticks to the branches. | 0:20:22 | 0:20:24 | |
-These are muntjac tracks. | 0:20:31 | 0:20:34 | |
-They're the tiny prints -of a small creature... | 0:20:34 | 0:20:38 | |
-..with small hooves. | 0:20:39 | 0:20:40 | |
-This is a perfect spot for them. | 0:20:41 | 0:20:43 | |
-There's an old deer fence here... | 0:20:43 | 0:20:46 | |
-..with holes everywhere in it. | 0:20:46 | 0:20:48 | |
-There are brambles and young trees -the other side of the fence... | 0:20:48 | 0:20:53 | |
-..providing -the ideal habitat for muntjac. | 0:20:53 | 0:20:56 | |
-Once they cross over there, -they disappear. | 0:20:56 | 0:20:59 | |
-We need to be very vigilant -if we've any chance of seeing one. | 0:21:00 | 0:21:04 | |
-They're obviously -here if there are tracks. | 0:21:04 | 0:21:07 | |
-I'm glad I spotted those. | 0:21:08 | 0:21:10 | |
-I'm going to wait a while -before positioning hidden cameras. | 0:21:13 | 0:21:18 | |
-The muntjac is far more likely -to roam around... | 0:21:18 | 0:21:22 | |
-..when the snow has thawed. | 0:21:23 | 0:21:25 | |
-The fallow deer -is the first to be caught on camera. | 0:21:40 | 0:21:43 | |
-I've left nuts on the floor so that -it stays in front of the camera. | 0:21:45 | 0:21:50 | |
-It comes back for more -once it's dark. | 0:21:53 | 0:21:56 | |
-Here we are at last. | 0:22:05 | 0:22:07 | |
-This is the muntjac. | 0:22:07 | 0:22:09 | |
-A pair of them appear. | 0:22:10 | 0:22:12 | |
-One is hiding behind the tree. | 0:22:12 | 0:22:14 | |
-The muntjac -has also found the nuts... | 0:22:28 | 0:22:30 | |
-..and returns the following night. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:33 | |
-This is the male -with its unique horns. | 0:22:38 | 0:22:42 | |
-The pair are obviously -living together in the forest. | 0:22:47 | 0:22:51 | |
-It's a short -and muscular creature... | 0:22:55 | 0:22:58 | |
-..a long way from its native Asia. | 0:22:58 | 0:23:01 | |
-The muntjac was -right in front of me in this spot. | 0:23:07 | 0:23:10 | |
-It's quite an achievement... | 0:23:10 | 0:23:12 | |
-..since they've eluded Malcolm -in Mid Wales and Adrian in Gwent. | 0:23:13 | 0:23:17 | |
-The pair -have been searching for a decade... | 0:23:17 | 0:23:21 | |
-..and have only seen a muntjac once. | 0:23:21 | 0:23:23 | |
-It wouldn't surprise me if they're -hiding in those brambles right now. | 0:23:24 | 0:23:29 | |
-The muntjac is a timid creature... | 0:23:33 | 0:23:35 | |
-..that is gradually expanding -to enrich Wales's wildlife. | 0:23:36 | 0:23:40 | |
