Winterwatch 2023 will start on BBC Two from Tuesday 17th January at 8pm<\/strong>, and will deliver an extraordinary double helping of live programmes across two weeks.<\/p> Winterwatch 2023 will bring viewers two very different live wildlife hubs, and will stream live cameras across our digital platforms.<\/p>\n In Norfolk with Chris and Michaela, the show will be deploying their cameras across the Wild Ken Hill\u2019s range of habitats.<\/p>\n The official synopsis reads: \u201cThe winter rains have brought life back to the grazing marsh and the waterfowl and waders will provide a seasonal spectacle. The remote thermal camera will be deployed to bring us incredible scenes, allowing us to watch the behaviour of Wild Ken Hill\u2019s cast of nocturnal characters.\u201d<\/p>\n Meanwhile, in Edinburgh, Gillian and Iolo are exploring the thriving urban ecosystem of Scotland\u2019s greenest city.<\/p>\n \u201cFrom the ancient volcanic peak of Arthur\u2019s Seat in the heart of the city to the expanses of the Forth Estuary, they will get a privileged view inside our fastest changing habitat. Here they will also uncover exciting new research along the Water of Leith, Edinburgh\u2019s very own wildlife highway \u2013 home to secretive otters and marathon migrating eels \u2013 as well as charting the fortunes of a badger clan tucked away in the grounds of Edinburgh Zoo,\u201d the BBC reveals.<\/p>\n As well as live footage, there will also be pre-filmed stories, including a segment on mountain hares, backswimmers, curlews with singer-songwriter David Gray featuring, veteran trees with Professor Lynne Boddy, and more.<\/p> What to expect from Winterwatch 2023?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
