    I didn't know this was on UA-cam! I worked at Mount Grace Priory whilst this was being filmed, one cameraman, one sound recordist & a lot of patience. The staff at the Priory had walkie-talkies to communicate to the camera man when a stoat was spotted as it's a 13 acre site & they could appear anywhere! It was tremendous fun.

    Wonderful doc! Shocked I missed this one somehow out of the thousands I’ve watched on here haha ( only thing i watch on YT is wildlife docs , so I’ve def seen a lot of them ) but always good to enjoy some of the vids narrated by D Attenborough .. thought I’ve seen every one of them 😂 but maybe my memory’s failing haha .. take care everyone and thank u for the upload !! Hope
    To see more soon !( esp if anyone can come across the series called America’s national parks ? It’s got several episodes . They include Grand Canyon , Yosemite , red wood forests , Everglades , Appalachians , the (can’t spell it right but I will try / the songuaro cactuses in the desert in Arizona I think ?- 2’ episodes about that one it I remember correctly (;!! But they’re great and I try to find them for so long and can’t ever seem to locate any channel that has them , with exception of like 2-3 videos but the Channel was Trying to get away with copyright issues and they put the video into some vignette with screen in screen picture and had some horrible iridescent looking crap over it where I couldn’t see anything. ) anyway , I’d love to see that one if anyone has a way to upload those. It was National Geographic and was produced in 2015( or released in 2015 anyway ). Thank u , take care !! God bless u !

  • @Improveng1

    I question David Attenborough's narration on many wildlife scenarios, which, to me, have all the hallmarks of over-dramatization for mass effect, his business, after all, is to sell television programmes. Stoats are not "Savage killers", they are, merely, highly efficient hunters, in the business of providing food for themselves and their offspring, on a daily basis, they're not doing it for fun. There are not "scavengers" and "predators" as Attenborough so often likes to tells us. ALL predators will, so-call, "scavenge" if given the opportunity. They are all busy surviving, nature is tough and if an easy meal, ie, an already dead meal, becomes available, they will ALL; Lion, Hyena, Leopard, Wild Dog, Possum, Skunk, Crow, Magpie, Buzzard, Eagle, Vulture, Fox, Badger, Stoat, Weasel, take advantage of it. I've listened to his narration with interest over the years, and have found myself disagreeing with his take on things on numerous occasions. I don't profess to have anywhere near Attenborough's knowledge of the natural world, but I do know that his take on "predators" and "scavengers" as though they are, somehow, separate, is just plain wrong.

    There's a really misinforming video I've just come across that has used/stolen footage from this great documentary. This misinforming video is entitled "look what happened when this weasel attacked a cat". The following is my comment on this very misinforming video; This USA video is REALLY misinforming! There's only about one clip of a weasel. The other clips feature the stoat which Americans should be calling the long-tailed weasel. It's VERY important to give these animals their correct names because they are VERY different from each other. ie; the long-tailed weasel (or stoat) cannot breed with a weasel. This video is stupidly referring to ALL these animals as weasels just because they're from the weasel family. That's like referring to all dogs as wolves. The animals shown towards the end of the video include the mink and also the Black-footed ferret (which is nearly extinct now). You are wrongfully teaching that all these different species are all called weasels. You have also stolen/used some footage from an old BBC 1 nature program that I know very well called "Stoats In The Priory" and pretended this is your own original footage. It's dumb enough that you Americans talk about Europe like it's all one country but this is even dumber.
