Blakeney Point Nature Reserve at 100

Looking at 100 years of Blakeney Point Nature Reserve - it was one of the first owned by the National Trust. We follow the warden through the reserve's 100th year as he looks after the rare wildlife on the tip of the shingle spit. He also has to manage the thousands of visitors attracted to this isolated part of the beautiful North Norfolk coast. The biggest danger to the breeding animals is disturbance by those visitors - one person walking in the wrong place or losing a dog could make the birds abandon their nests. It will be a good year if Britain's biggest colony of sandwich terns breeds successfully and the number of seal pups increases.
