Springwatch returns to BBC Two broadcasting live from an exciting new location in the Cotswolds


Springwatch returns to BBC Two at the end of May, broadcasting live from an exciting new location right in the heart of the Cotswold countryside - and smack-bang in the middle of the UK.

  • Springwatch: Monday 29 May - Thursday 15 June, 8pm
  • Unsprung: Monday 5 June - Friday 16 June
  • Live online: from 8am Monday 29 May

Presented by Chris Packham, Michaela Strachan, Martin Hughes-Games and Gillian Burke, this annual three-week wildlife extravaganza promises viewers fascinating and intimate encounters with some of the UK’s most loved animals.

Springwatch’s cameras will be positioned on key nature hotspots across the National Trust’s Sherborne Estate in rural Gloucestershire, allowing viewers to experience the behavior and intimate moments of these animals’ lives in a crucial season for all of them.

And this year, in a break with tradition, the ‘Watches’ are going to stay at the same site throughout the whole year.

This means the team will be able to study a host of wildlife families and follow them as they negotiate our ever-changing seasons over the next 12 months, capturing the drama surrounding birth, survival, courtship and death that play out among our Sherborne animal characters.

Of course the team will also be covering the length and breadth of the country throughout the year, bringing live reports from near and far, as well as making short films that cover the full season and a huge variety of the animals that make these islands their home.
