  It usually comes on in Nov. They always broadcast at the end of the season so they have enough film footage.

  I was at Wild Ken in July. I'm looking forward to seeing an update. Such a stunning and diverse location - farmland, woodland, marsh, sea shore. Turtle doves, beavers, silver washed fritillary.

  They’ll be looking at the effects of the horrendous wildfires we suffered in the heatwave …

  It’s great news. I personally think having loads of researchers and phd students frequenting the rewilding projects looking is key.  How wonderful to have expert mycologists, lepidopterists, etc regularly examining the sites! They are super interested, skilled, motivated and will know what they are spotting or how to find out. 

  
  

  Great Dixter hosted some spider conferences so years ago. The experts asked if they could wander about. Fergus said fine. In their wandering they found spiders not recorded in Sussex before.
  
  great to have massive biodiversity and great to have the experts on hand to record it.

  Autumnwatch mentioned that sika deer are hybridising with red deer
  

  
  

  

  I had no idea such a thing was possible across deer species. I'm genuinely amazed.

  I read about the probability of this some years ago and find it rather sad.
