Season 01
Summer is the richest and most intense season in the Highlands, when abundant food enables raising young. For prey species, that's always a balancing act between safety and access to food, especially when they're too weak to run along like new fawns. Feeding is exhausting, and firstborn may, as often in the eagle's nest, eliminate weakling siblings' 'competition' the hard way. Plenty of fish attracts many aquatic birds to the cliffs and islands, but safe high nests also require coming fledglings jumping down into the sea, while colonies must contend with predators and hostile neighbor.
