Springwatch: British wildlife, live

Every spring, the BBC devotes a series to the wildlife of the British Isles, with live hidden cameras, documentaries and public participation.

Springwatch is the popular series in which the BBC covers the nature and wildlife of the British Isles in detail every spring. It combines live broadcasts from hidden cameras with documentaries and public participation.

The 2026 edition, which ran from 25 May to 11 June, had its cameras at Crom, one of Northern Ireland’s main nature conservation areas. On its website you could watch, and hear, live cameras from morning to night.

There were two ways to follow them. The “In focus” player showed one camera and switched between them through the day; “Multicam” offered four at once, also rotating.

The live cameras only run during the season, but the programme page lets you explore the series and look out for the next edition.
