With June almost here, it’s officially time for Springwatch to return!
The long-running BBC Two nature show will see Chris Packham, Michaela Strachan and their team of presenters take viewers into the natural habitats of the UK’s blossoming wildlife.
From the eagles of the Isle of Mull to the nesting birds of Norfolk, Springwatch will be giving us a front-row seat to the biggest spectacles nature has to offer at this time of year and while the show has been running for 17 years, the live feeds never get old – (although Chris Packham has revealed viewers’ most common complaints).
Now that Spring has sprung, here’s everything you need to know about Springwatch 2022.
