The duo will also uncover exciting new research along the Water of Leith, Edinburgh’s very own wildlife highway which is home to secretive otters and marathon migrating eels, as well as charting the fortunes of a badger clan tucked away in the grounds of Edinburgh Zoo.

Other locations in the pre-recorded sections of the series include the Menai Straits in north Wales, Brighton and the Cairngorms Mountains in Scotland.

Elsewhere in the programme Chris Packham and Michaela Strachan revel in the season at Wild Ken Hill in Norfolk, where winter spectacles are in full swing.
