Springwatch Springs Back
Award-winning wildlife hotspot Pensthorpe Nature Reserve, near Fakenham, is gearing up for the return of the popular BBC2 natural history series BBC Springwatch.

The three-week celebration of UK wildlife, which begins on the 31st May from Mondays to Thursdays at 8pm on BBC2, has become essential viewing for all those who appreciate nature in all its glory.

This year the programme will see the return of presenters, comprising Simon King, Kate Humble, Chris Packham, Gordon Buchanan and Martin Hughes-Games. The team will watch the daily animal family dramas unfold, as they happen, and also talk about how to enjoy – or help – wildlife in various local regions throughout the UK.
 
The focus of Springwatch is, of course, the wildlife. This privileged view into the private lives of some of the nation’s best loved wild creatures never fails to deliver excitement, insight and humour to millions of viewers who witness real, natural events as they happen.

So what stories and characters will Springwatch 2010 deliver?  Who could forget the antics of the Goldfinches in Pensthorpe’s car park, or the infanticidal male swallow, philanderous flycatchers and plucky oystercatcher parents of previous years?  As ever, only nature will tell because nature writes the script!
 
Whatever unfolds, state-of-the-art Springwatch cameras will be at the ready. Over 50 secret mini cameras and literally miles of fibre-optic cable allow the series to follow these intimate animal stories – live.  Meanwhile, a number of filming teams will be sending in the latest reports from around the country.
