Exploring the seagrass beds of Arran

Our first ever Storyteller in Residence, wildlife photographer, writer, and expedition leader Henley Spiers, is currently on the Isle of Arran off the west coast of Scotland to research and photograph his first exciting full SiR feature for us. In this 'Despatches: From the field' video, he talks about the diverse seagrass beds of the island and its many inhabitants.
