Monty Halls' new TV series, Monty Halls' Great Hebridean Escape, will be starting on Wednesday 21 April at 9pm on BBC2.
Monty Halls and Reuben
The second series of Monty's Great Escapes sees DIVE's columnist and his scene-stealing dog Reuben returning to Scotland - this time to work as a volunteer wildlife ranger on the Hebridean islands of North Uist, South Uist and Barra. Monty says: 'The wildlife is outstanding - 11 species of whale and dolphin, 20,000 grey seals, countless pairs of wading birds, as well as rare habitats like the machair - sandy coastal grasslands. Being a nature ranger for such an extraordinary place is just a dream job for me.'
But will the dream job live up to Monty's expectations? He will be working for a group of islanders who want to see results and will be experiencing the full force of winter in the North Atlantic.
