Over 17,000 of your photos have been added to the Autumnwatch Flickr group since we opened it again this year!
We have the whole team looking through and keeping an eye out for stunning shots to use in the shows and of course, to pick their favourites. Here they are!
Executive producer Tim said, "I love long-tailed tits. Such spirited little birds, perfectly captured. (And who was on the phone?)" Well as it turns out, it was a long-tailed tit on the phone! People have been discussing the use of lures on the Autumnwatch wildlife forum and, as EnglishFolkFan pointed out on Twitter, audible lures are sometimes used to catch birds for ringing and recording.
Producer Holly said this was simply a lovely shot of one of our biggest autumn spectacles.
Researcher Ruth thought this was an amazing capture of a creature we won't be seeing for a while now as it gets colder.
Series producer Roger felt that this stag in the mist captures the ambience of a moment. The crisp frost and the near-silhouette work to make this shot dramatic and atmospheric.
We Webbies love this bearded tit. The soft focus and framing make him look very cosy against the cool colours of the background. It's an adorable portrait.
Martin Hughes-Games chose this action shot by Keith. He adores roe deer and thought this was an unexpected glimpse of one in its element.
Wildlife cameraman Lindsay Macrae popped in to show his appreciation of this portrait by Peter. Lindz has a passion for wildlife photography himself and he felt that this capture was very natural, showing an animal in prime condition. From experience he knows it's not easy to photograph such intimate moments in these creatures' lives as the minute they catch scent or sight of you, they're off!
The Management Menagerie loved the shapes in this capture. They particularly appreciated the colours in the sky, the blurring of the wings and the light on the geese's backs.
Assistant producer Nick Smith-Baker chose this lovely image of butterflies enjoying a fruity feast. Autumn bounty features in this week's show and he thought this was a lovely portrayal of the importance of autumn fruitfall.
This capture caught the attention of the Unsprung team, who thought the exposure and light levels gave it a ghostly quality.
So which are your favourites?
As ever please keep sharing your autumnal wildlife photography with us on the BBC Autumnwatch group where you can also get help with identifying species you've photographed or just discuss wildlife and wildlife photography with the Autumnwatch community.
Check back next week for another batch of the team's favourites or for more beauties have a look at the selection from last week.
