Following the fortunes of bird families in the Somerset levels and the Brecon Beacons.

The cameras follow the fortunes of bird families in the Somerset levels and the Brecon Beacons. And Steve Backshall witnesses aquatic insect hatches providing food for a host of birds on the Thames.

Chris Packham, Gillian Burke and Iolo Williams are live again close to their respective homes in the New Forest, west Wales and Cornwall, where overnight events have already created dramas.

This year, the Springwatch cameras are following the fortunes of bird families in the Somerset levels and in the wild and rugged Brecon Beacons. With no boat traffic on the Thames, Steve Backshall is witnessing beautiful aquatic insect hatches providing food for a host of  birds like swallows and even red kites. Intrepid sound recordist Gary Moore records the incredible urban dawn chorus of songbirds which have been such a feature of spring 2020 .
