Springwatch episode 7 2018
Live from the heart of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Chris Packham and Michaela Strachan share the latest news from the wildlife cameras over the past 24 hours. After a frantic start to the week, the 'fledge-fest' has slowed down, although the goldcrests appear to be on the verge of leaving too.
The long-eared owl nest is explored in much more detail, and Iolo Williams looks into the raptors on the estate, before introducing another new nest from Wales - the goshawk. Gillian Burke is still in Yorkshire, visiting another nature reserve reclaimed for nature from its mining past. She is in the clear waters of RSPB Old Moor looking for eels, a burgeoning population of which is feeding the recovery of a very rare and secretive bird, the bittern.
Up on Orkney, wildlife cameraman Raymond Bessant follows in the footsteps of his wildlife hero, Eddie Balfour - a man who dedicated 40 years of his life to the study and conservation of the hen harrier. Plus the secret world of the allotment, where the battle between aphids and parasitoid wasps is ongoing and brutal, and Michaela is on the next leg of her tour of Bristol's waterways to investigate what the locals are doing to battle plastic waste.
In Springwatch episode 6 2018 Chris Packham and Michaela Strachan are live once again from the Gloucestershire countryside, where overnight events have already thrown up plenty of surprises, including yet more activity from the badger sett.
This programme documents how British wildlife adapt during the changing of the seasons in the United Kingdom. `Springwatch' broadcasts from locations across the nation, using more than 50 cameras - many hidden and operated remotely - to capture the animals' natural behaviour. Presenters Michaela Strachan, Chris Packham and Martin Hughes-Games follow the action from the cameras. The companion website provides additional video content along with pictures, blogs and other features to supplement the programme's content.
