Springwatch 2017

Chris Packham and Michaela Strachan are live in the Gloucestershire countryside. Gillian Burke and Michaela Strachan are live from a special and remote part of the British Isles.

Chris Packham and Michaela Strachan are live in the Gloucestershire countryside with the latest from the cameras all over the Sherborne Estate.

The live feeds are as busy as ever, the wrens and swallows are increasingly busy and the red kites and kestrel chicks are growing up fast. Down at the river, the grey wagtails are showing their true colours and the chaffinches have been teasing us all day with their will-they-wont-they fledge antics.

Chris also tries out an extraordinary new bit of kit used to locate and identify bats, and explains how they use their extraordinary sense to hunt.

Meanwhile Gillian Burke and Michaela Strachan have gone on tour - popping up live from the sub-tropical Isles of Scilly. They are on the hunt for the UK's only population of stick insects, and look at jellyfish that wash up on the gorgeous beaches here.

Plus a check in on the little egret colony in Somerset, and documentary cameraman James Bayliss-Smith is following in his father's footsteps - camping out on Hilbre island in the estuary of the river Dee to catch the wading birds as they stop off on the way to their breeding grounds.
