Springwatch returns to BBC Two this Thursday 5 June at 8 PM, taking another look at the wonders of British wildlife. Chris Packham and Michaela Strachan continue their watch from the Longshaw Estate, while Iolo Williams wraps up his stint on Rathlin Island with a final push to spot the elusive golden hare.

Expect more stunning footage from Longshaw, including close-ups of short-eared owls and ring ouzels. Back in Sheffield, the Springwatch cameras have been busy capturing the urban wildlife drama unfolding along Springwatch Street, so prepare for further updates on that magical microcosm of badgers, foxes, and whatever else decides to wander past the lens.
