Nature’s reality show continues on BBC Two this Tuesday with a new episode of Springwatch, airing live at 8 PM GMT. Episode 6 finds presenters Chris Packham and Michaela Strachan hunkered down at the Longshaw Estate, keeping a watchful eye on the nest cameras and relaying all the feathery, furry, and scaled action as it happens.
Meanwhile, Iolo Williams beams in live from the Rathlin Island Seabird Centre off the coast of Northern Ireland, where guillemots, razorbills, and puffins are busy with their own spring dramas. Expect close-ups of chicks hatching, aerial views of colonies in motion, and the kind of unscripted wildlife encounters that make live television so unpredictable—and occasionally so rewarding.
Springwatch has become a BBC institution, returning each year to track the shift of seasons across the UK. The series’ appeal lies in its immediacy and intimacy—viewers get a front-row seat to nature’s unfolding narratives, from the first blooms of wildflowers to the fledging of young birds.
Springwatch airs Tuesday at 8:00 PM GMT on BBC Two.
