Springwatch films with some passionate people as they enjoy the best seasonal wildlife from across the British Isles.

Spring has the capacity to bring out the best in all of us. It’s a time of new beginnings, of regrowth, rejuvenation and transformation. Days are warmer and longer and we’re able, once again, to get out and about into the spring sunshine. We’ve been filming the very best wildlife with some of the most passionate people all across the UK.  As we all emerge blinking into the light following a year like no other, Springwatch is here to remind us all how important nature has been in our recovery. Chantelle Lindsey from the London Wildlife Trust reveals the secret history of London’s Great North Woods showing us the preserved pockets that still remain and the species that they support. As aspiring natural history filmmaker Rachel Bigsby faced her second redundancy as a result of the pandemic, she put her unplanned time to good use… by chasing her dreams and heading to the coast to film a free spirit that had long captured her imagination – the fulmar. Penny Metal has quite a draw to her local Peckham park in London… but it’s not the people that pull her in, it’s the enormous array of insects that call it home. Penny’s passionate about telling their story so that we all can live happily alongside these miniature marvels and naturalist and presenter Ajay Tegala works as a wildlife ranger in the East Anglian fens. He’s on the lookout for cranes - a truly majestic bird that was driven to extinction in Britain, but Ajay is pleased to see Britain’s tallest bird returning to his region.
