Simon captures footage of killer whales coming in to kill a seal, an arctic tern colony attacked by a bonxie, and a very shy otter family. Simon, his wife Marguerite and two-year-old Savannah settle into a wild remote cottage, but the winter weather and winds of over 100mph make life tough for them.

Spring arrives in Shetland, bringing with it an influx of wildlife from all over the world. Simon dives in the sea and discovers starfish, dead man's fingers and moon jellyfish. He also gets very close to a seal.

Simon follows the heart-rending struggle at a wildlife sanctuary to teach Kirikoo, a damaged baby otter, to use her back legs.

And with a little help and hindrance from his two-year-old daughter, Savannah, he sets up a hide and gives her a lesson in birdwatching.

Simon is enjoying the islands at their best, with 19 hours of glorious sunlight, the remarkable Simmer Dim - the Shetland word for the midnight gloaming - and a plethora of wildlife.

His expensive high-speed camera breaks, but with a little help from the locals he manages to get it repaired and uses it to capture some wonderful footage of powerful gannets diving for fish.
