A seasonal view
Nature's Calendar provides a seasonal look at the very best of what the UK countryside has to offer - from islands, woodlands and estates to meadows, wetlands and coastal areas.
The autumn series features the animals, plants and marine life of a wide variety of habitats, offering a user-friendly guide to getting out and about and enjoying them at this time of year. We will be looking at how nature responds to the autumn season. Highlights include rutting deer, migrating birds and a swan safari. Once again, there will be a guide to getting out and enjoying nature for yourselves. What's it about? The programme's main aim is to encourage viewers to get out, explore and discover nature for themselves.
Presenter Chris Packham and his team of three experts earth scientist Janet Sumner, zoologist Sanjida O'Connell and botanist Mike Dilger go out and about to show you the very best winter wildlife in the UK. During the course of the series, they visit spectacular locations such as Lundy Island, Bass Rock, Cheddar Gorge, the Norfolk Broads and the Giant's Causeway. The programme is a 'user's guide' to nature in the UK and provides a practical guide to what you can do, see and learn. You can also tell us about seasonal nature on your travels - we'd like you to send in your photographs of UK wildlife. The best images will be used in the special photo gallery section of the Nature's Calendar website.
