Mark Rylance and Sophie Okonedo star in a seasonal drama recorded on location every three months.
In a close collaboration with the RSPB we tell a fictional story set in a location based on RSPB Strumpshaw Fen.
We follow the science and the life of the nature reserve with highly immersive use of sound and with guest species making an appearance:
Swallowtail Butterflies
Whirlpool
Ramshorn
Snail
Eel
and Bittern.
