The Animals of Farthing Wood S01E09 Whistler's Quarry
After escaping the Hunt for now, the animals reach a large quarry (with Mole digging their way in). It is here they meet Whistler, a grey heron named for the wind whistling through a bullet hole in his wing when he flies. When Toad tries to fish, he is caught by a carp. Before he can be swallowed, Whistler fetches the carp from the water and returns him to the shore. Whistler is intrigued when Toad asks him to throw the carp, and after complying decides to join in the hope of finding a mate at White Deer Park. Whistler therefore takes the oath alongside Vixen. However, when the animals leave the quarry they walk into a pheasant shoot. The gunshots cause one of the baby rabbits to panic, running out into the open where he is killed.
