Iolo Williams looks back on the best Springwatch stories featuring changes to Welsh wildlife, and celebrates the conservationists giving back to nature.

Iolo recounts stories of 2 arctic visitors – from Wally the Walrus who unexpectedly turned up in Tenby, and the dedicated effort to monitor the vulnerable Greenland white fronted geese who overwinter in Wales. Gillian visits a loyal birdwatcher who discusses changes the river Tiefi has revealed over decades, while researchers at Bangor university follow a surprising reptile introduced to Wales. Iolo recounts his early involvement in the pine marten re-introduction projects in Wales, and how it wouldn’t have been possible without an army of conservationists. Show less
