WINTERWATCH
BBC2, 8pm
WHEN you’re freezing and miserable on an enforced family walk this week, spare a thought for the Winterwatch team, always battling the elements to show us the wonder of nature and wildlife.
This time, Chris Packham is in the New Forest watching winter transform his home.
Iolo Williams is at the Centre for Alternative Technology in Wales, hoping to see some amazing murmurations.
Gillian Burke is at RSPB Old Moor in South Yorkshire, seeing how a joined-up wildlife project has revitalised the area. And young naturalist Indy Green heads deep into Sherwood Forest on the hunt for one of our most elusive birds of prey – the goshawk.
Chris says: “Winter is an exciting and dynamic season when there is a tremendous amount going on. Expect to peek into the secret affairs of our badger family and meet the new animal stars from all around the UK.
“Britain’s wildlife is under pressure. Our wildlife needs us and it needs us now.”
