Who presents Winterwatch?

The stories of this winter will be revealed by presenters Chris Packham, Michaela Strachan and Iolo Williams live from RSPB Arne in Dorset for their first Winterwatch since , while Gillian Burke has been at the other end of the UK, the Orkney Isles, to witness the fascinating wildlife that calls the islands home.

Speaking about this series, Chris Packham said: "There's always this lingering misconception that winter is a time of death and decay, where everything has hibernated or migrated, and it couldn't be further from the truth, there's always an enormous amount of activity.

Practically, there are no leaves on the trees. It makes it easier to see some species.

"We get an enormous influx of waders and waterfowl from further north in Europe. Poole Harbour, Brownsea Lagoon, and the estuary areas around Arne itself will be filled full of those migrant birds.

"We probably won't see some species which 20 years ago, 30, 40 years ago would have been quite common in that area because it would have been much colder further north in Europe, but it isn't this year.
