Chris Packham’s ‘Springwatch’ and Self-isolating Bird Club

Every weekday morning at 9am, wildlife TV presenter Chris Packham is hosting a homespun Springwatch, if you like, live on his Facebook channels. He’s joined by his stepdaughter, zoologist Megan Mccubbin, and sometimes other guests pop in via video from their own lockdown locations and encouraging members to share bird sightings from their windows and gardens. It’s an uplifting watch for anyone twitching to get back to nature.
