Oxfordshire features in Sir David Attenborough's new series as the naturalist gives the British Isles the 'Planet Earth' treatment.
Filmed over the course of three years, this landmark series celebrates the natural history of Britain and Ireland, exploring how our woodland, grassland, freshwater and ocean habitats support wildlife of all kinds.
Premiering on BBC1 this weekend, Wild Isles explores the wildlife native to Britain, from hunting sea eagles to butterflies, it uncovers a previously unseen side to the UK's wildlife.
And in the first episode the show visits the ancient oaks of Blenheim while Oxfordshire's bluebells feature later in the series.
However, Attenborough's message throughout is a sobering one.
Britain has become one of the most nature depleted nations in the world, and the situation is only becoming more dire.
As more species are being added to the endangered list every year, as the current climate emergency continues to deplete their habitat, producers are hoping the five part series act as a catalyst for protecting and restoring the wildlife that is left.
Episode One: Our Precious Isles will air on BBC One and iPlayer on March 12 at 7pm.
