As the UK gradually emerges, blinking into the light, from a year like no other, Springwatch is here to remind us all how important nature has been in our recovery. Never before have we appreciated the natural world more, or have we taken such an interest in the environment around us.
This year BBC Springwatch is looking forward, working to keep the UK connected to our native wildlife with three weeks of live programmes.
With an over-arching theme - A Vision For The Future - Springwatch will present a vision of hope, inspiration, beauty and co-existence, brought to the audience from every nation in the British Isles. Nature has been there for us, now we need to be there for it.
The stories of this spring will be revealed by presenters Chris Packham and Michaela Strachan, as they explore a landscape with co-existence at its heart in Norfolk. Iolo Williams enjoys the solitude of The Highlands of Scotland and Gillian Burke immerses herself in the tranquillity of the glorious Strangford Lough in Northern Ireland. There will also be nature notes from a raft of wildlife presenters based across the UK.
