BBC Two - Autumnwatch, 2017, Episode 4

There is a final chance to drop in on the live cameras around the estate.

It is the end of a busy week in the Gloucestershire countryside, and Michaela Strachan, Chris Packham, Gillian Burke and Martin Hughes-Games come together to wrap up the series.

It's the final show of Autumnwatch 2017, and it's been a busy week in the Gloucestershire countryside. Michaela Strachan, Chris Packham, Gillian Burke and Martin Hughes-Games all come together to wrap up the series, bringing live action and reports from our cameras. 
 
Overnight the badgers have been back, feasting on fallen apples, and we get another glimpse of the elusive otter. 
 
Martin is down by the river, bringing us a glimpse of the animals that use this part of the reserve, including deer and bats. He also delves deeper into the lives of one species of bat, the lesser horseshoe, with rare footage form their maternity roost where the mothers have their pups, and visiting the winter roost deep in a disused mine. 
 
Gillian wraps up the results of her fox box experiment, comparing the amazing feats of the urban foxes in Bournemouth to their shy rural cousins here at Sherborne. 
 
The team examines the plight of the UK's seabirds, updating on the SeaBird Watch project, and looking at the issue of plastics that is causing issues for birds such as the fulmar that nest on our cliffs. 
 
There are films about the remarkable secret kingdom of fungi, two brothers whose illustrations of the natural world are world-renowned, and Chris and Martin finish their Top Gun-inspired swan v goose epic.
