Episode Details

Meet Sorrel, a wild hen harrier who defied the odds—tagged a decade ago in Scotland, she’s still flying, breeding, and roaming across Britain and Ireland. While most of her kind vanish or fade into obscurity, Sorrel’s survival is a beacon for conservation. She’s raised over a dozen chicks, traveled thousands of miles, and even crossed the Irish Sea, all tracked by satellite. Her story reveals critical insights into habitat use, breeding patterns, and the threats these red-listed birds face—from persecution to habitat loss. Thanks to the network of scientists, volunteers, and land managers tracking her, Sorrel’s journey is helping shape a brighter future for hen harriers—and proving that one bird’s resilience can spark a conservation revolution.
