We’re thrilled to announce our brand-new series for BBC One and iPlayer: Hamza’s Hidden Wild Isles which follows wildlife cameraman Hamza Yassin as he reveals hidden wildlife gems from across the four countries of the UK. With Hamza’s trademark knowledge, warmth and enthusiasm, he’ll share tips and advice, encouraging viewers to connect with nature, wherever they are.

Each of the four episodes will follow a seasonal narrative as nature’s calendar unfolds across the year with Hamza filming incredible species and spectacles hidden amongst both our urban and wilder landscapes. Stunning aerial photography provides a special sense of time and place combined with blue-chip cinematography and footage from wildlife camera crews filmed on their local patch. 

The series is produced by Silverback Films, following our stand-out success of Hamza: Strictly Birds of Prey. It is co-produced by the National Trust and the Open University.
