Autumnwatch 2017

Autumnwatch returns to BBC Two live from its year-long home in the heart of the Cotswold countryside.

Chris Packham, Michaela Strachan and Martin Hughes-Games will be based at the National Trust’s Sherborne Park Estate and will explore how our UK wildlife is coping with the onset of autumn this year, while Gillian Burke will be live from the south coast getting to know a unique family of foxes.

The four-episode series will update on some of the key characters from Springwatch, and have cameras positioned at hotspots around the Gloucestershire estate to pick up new and developing stories as they happen.

As well as the live reports, Autumnwatch will celebrate the season across the country with a series of short films covering the very different ways in which our UK species prepare for the winter months.
