Welcome...

SPRINGWATC­H IS BACK, BUT IT’S THE END OF AN ERA AS CHRIS TAKES A BREAK FROM HIS REGULAR BBC WILDLIFE COLUMN.

- Editor

Long-standing member of the Springwatc­h team, Chris Packham and his colleagues are back this month, giving us our daily fix of amazing British wildlife.

Chris has been a part of the BBC Wildlife team for many years, too, encouragin­g us to think about the natural world in a different way, take pleasure from and care for it. His column over the past year has been intensely personal and you have responded to that sharing of his inner thoughts with appreciati­on and emotion. Now, for the time being, Chris has decided to take a break from his regular slot. His passion and unique insight into nature will be much missed on our pages, but hopefully he’ll return in the future.

Next month we’ll be unveiling a fresh new look, and new regular features I hope you’ll enjoy. Although, be reassured, all your favourites will still be there to entertain and inform. Sheena Harvey sheena.harvey@immediate.co.uk
