Ytene is an ancient name for the area now known as the New Forest. It was the site of the Jutish Kingdom and translates as "of the Jutes".
Filmed over a two year period by Manuel Hinge, Ytene explores the wildlife found in the New Forest in southern England.
The woodland, bogs and heaths of the area are home to wild ponies, fallow deer, badgers, foxes, wildfowl, and insects. Seasonal changes are shown, and some elusive species, such as firecrests, hawfinches, woodlarks and tadpole shrimps are pictured. The programme is interwoven with historical re-enactments and describes the change in land use from mediaeval times.
