Grab a cup of tea and a blanket and get ready to get lost in the natural world of the North East as Springwatch returns for a new series with episodes filmed live from the Northumberland Coast.
As part of a three-week road trip with presenter Megan McCubbin, the popular BBC2 programme will be broadcast live from Northumberland Wildlife Trust's Hauxley Wildlife Discovery Centre from Monday June 6 - Thursday June 9. It's the second time in quick succession that the trust's reserves have featured on the BBC, after an appearance on Songs of Praise on Sunday May 22.
Over four nights, the live programmes will be interspersed with pre-recorded films from the Druridge Bay area. Films will include the mining history of the Hauxley reserve, the roseate terns and puffins on Coquet Island and the splendour of the reserve with its array of birds, mammals and red squirrels which entertain visitors with their antics up and down the trees next to the car park.
