What a mesmerising dance, we just love a starling murmuration on the Watches and it's on our #winterwatchlist! Have you been lucky enough to witness this wonderful seasonal spectacle? 🐦 #winterwatch

I filmed this for #winterwatch with the lovely Hannah what a lovely adventure we had 😍 pine martens are the best!

[BBC Springwatch @BBCSpringwatch]

Highly elusive and very rarely seen, the pine marten is one of the most magical mammals we have in the UK! 🐾❤️

We sent @HannahStitfall to a very special garden in the Cairngorms to see if she could catch a glimpse…and she ended up nose to nose with TWO! 😍

Happy Halloween! Here’s a Halloween special Hannah and I shot for Autumnwatch 😍🎃👻😱thanks to @SurreyWT , @_BTO & @Mammal_Society #Halloween #halloween2021

[BBC Springwatch @BBCSpringwatch]

It turns out it's not just bats emitting sound beyond our human hearing range, there are some truly creepy night-time calls out there and as it's #Halloween we sent out @HannahStitfall to discover what's breaking the not so silent night...👻🎃😱
