The documentary follows British wildlife throughout summer, when animals flock from afar and competition for food is high. Hunters time their arrival from Africa to feast on the huge glut of flying insects, falcons chase after dragonflies, and sea urchins are forced to protect themselves from harmful UV rays. Plus, thermal cameras reveal the activities of nightjars on a Dorset heath and thunderstorms bring out hordes of hungry snails. Narrated by Joseph Fiennes
