New Sir David Attenborough BBC series Wild Isles to star Northumberland on Sunday night

A new David Attenborough series which features gulls and puffins in Northumberland will air on Sunday night, the BBC has confirmed.

Wild Isles is a five-part series which aims to highlight the challenges affecting the British Isles and celebrate nature that exists on our doorsteps. Its crew filmed 96 species across 145 locations over 1,631 days, one of those being the Farne Islands in Northumberland.

The renowned wildlife broadcaster will introduce the first episode from Old Harry Rocks in Dorset, and will explain why Britain and Ireland are critical for the survival of species across the globe. As well as new behaviour from killer whales hunting seals and golden eagles scavenging in mountains, we'll see puffins chased by greedy gulls on the rugged granite of the Northumberland coast.
