Springwatch Episode 3

Live from the heart of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Gillian Burke is exploring some of the smaller creatures on the estate.

Live from their base in the heart of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Chris Packham and Michaela Strachan share the news from the wildlife cameras over the past 24 hours.

The blue tits are in increasing danger from an inquisitive great-spotted woodpecker, the badgers make their first appearance of the series, and a nest full of chiff chaffs fledge into the undergrowth.

Gillian Burke is exploring some of the smaller creatures on the estate, Martin Hughes-Games has travelled to Thetford forest to get hands on with a Tawny Owl and Lucy Cooke introduces how a simple object can connect us to the natural world in surprising ways.
