Regular presenter Iolo Williams won’t joining Autumnwatch this year, due to the dates changing and a clash with guiding work. However, he will be sharing his passion for the Isle of Mull in a pre-recorded film.
Unfortunately, I won’t be live on Autumnwatch this year. The dates had to be changed to accommodate live coverage of the FA Cup and the new dates clashed with a week’s guiding on Mull. I’ll miss the team but I’ll be back for Winterwatch. Good luck team!@BBCSpringwatch

What is the Autumn Watchlist?
The Autumn Watchlist is a list of signs of autumn for Autumnwatch viewers to look out and share on social media (using the hashtag #AutumnWatchlist).
They are split into three categories – easy (such as migrating geese and ivy flowers), medium (such as redwings and caching squirrels), and hard (such as hedgehogs and pintails).
