Silverback Films have teamed up with wildlife cameraman Hamza Yassin to track down and film some of his favourite birds of prey in an exciting new documentary for BBC One & iPlayer – Hamza: Strictly Birds of Prey.

Here in the British Isles, we have an amazing variety of birds of prey, including harriers, falcons and eagles. They range in size from the little owl, no bigger than a blackbird, to the white-tailed eagle with its massive two-metre wingspan.  

Taking us on a journey to explain just why he is so fanatical about birds of prey, Hamza meets up with old friends, mentors, experts, and volunteers whose love for the natural world shines through.  

Alastair Fothergill, Executive Producer, said: “This delightful film reveals a side of Hamza that few people have ever seen. His passion for the natural world, and birds of prey in particular, shines through.” 

Tune in on 24th September at 7pm on BBC One & iPlayer to watch, and read more about our new film.
