Say goodbye to those winter blues as Winterwatch returns to whet your wildlife appetite. Chris Packham, Michaela Strachan and Iolo Williams kick off the week at RSPB Arne in Dorset, where winter is revealing a cast of nocturnal characters. Live cameras are poised to capture the family dynamics of foxes, brazen badgers, and if we’re lucky, a white-tailed eagle… or two. Iolo heads over to Brownsea Island to introduce us to the wealth of waders that flock here in winter, and Gillian Burke has been out exploring the isles of Orkney. Closer to the Arctic Circle than they are to London, these isles reveal a few wildlife surprises.
