It is our last show, what a shame. It has gone so quickly. It has been | :00:00. | :00:13. | |
an amazing autumn, full of colour, a cast of characters and a wonderful | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
collection of creatures. But it's not over yet. So, rather like a | :00:17. | :00:23. | |
kestrel around your television set because we are about to bring you | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
the very best of British seasonal wildlife. It's Autumnwatch! | :00:28. | :00:52. | |
Yes, hello and welcome to the final programme of 2016's Autumnwatch from | :00:53. | :01:00. | |
the wonderful RSPB reserve here at Arne. A fabulous week and a fabulous | :01:01. | :01:07. | |
morning as well. We got up early and when the sun came up it was | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
gorgeous. A bit misty, one of the Stags in the mist. This has been the | :01:12. | :01:17. | |
week when the fungal fruiting bodies, the toadstools and so on, | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
have come out in force and there is a tremendous variety. In fact there | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
are probably 1 million species around the world, 17,000 in the UK. | :01:26. | :01:34. | |
They come with some fantastic names. This is flyer Garrick, a fairy tale | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
mushroom and there is another one called the which's egg. Perhaps my | :01:38. | :01:46. | |
favourite, the Wolf fight Puffball. Presumably it smells like a wolf. | :01:47. | :01:56. | |
Have you ever eaten a parasol mushroom? I haven't, I like seeing | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
them standing in the woods but I can't bring myself to eat them. I | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
used to pick the blue ones and they are one of the only purple coloured | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
foods that people regularly eat. Do you see a little fairy sitting on | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
top of one of them? OK, moving on! This week we have been peering into | :02:16. | :02:17. | |
the darkness with our special thermal camera. Let's go live now. | :02:18. | :02:26. | |
We have deer here. What's exciting about the camera, you never know | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
what you are going to see. There is a stag, you can just see the | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
antlers. If anything particularly exciting happens, we will bring it | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
to you as it happens. They were meeting last night. Indeed come | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
Meeting! We will give you the finale of the Mouse Maze. We have been | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
testing out the Arne mice, they have been challenged and now the tiny | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
mice are vertically challenged, so to speak. This is the maze live. We | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
have flipped it to the vertical position. Nothing in there now but | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
plenty of action and later we will give you the results of whether our | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
mice managed to crack the vertical maze or not. Also there is about 15 | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
minutes for you to vote on the name of our eagle. In the spring what's | :03:13. | :03:19. | |
we followed this lovely bird in its nest -- Springwatch. It has been | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
fitted with a tag and we will follow it for as long as it lasts, maybe up | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
to six years. You have a chance to name it, we have Hermione, Freya and | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
Highlander. The details on the 15 minutes left. Our cameramen have | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
been out and about around Arne and it is one of the most spectacularly | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
beautiful places we visited. This is the lowland heath, one of the | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
important habitats here. Low-lying heather. One of the key things is | :03:49. | :03:55. | |
the water, a lot of water bodies providing food for beautiful birds | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
like this kingfisher, this hungry kingfisher. He's going to go down. I | :03:59. | :04:05. | |
think he missed. There are many berries and nuts. We've been | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
watching animals feasting on these berries and nuts. Of course it is | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
the water bodies that are the key to Arne. All of the waders come here, | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
it is a magnet for them. Providing food. Will the kingfisher get | :04:23. | :04:28. | |
something this time? Yes! He got something at last, a little fish. | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
You never tire of watching the kingfisher fishing. They are | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
beautiful. I'm going to go! You are off! To keep this habitat commit | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
this mosaic, the RSPB must work very hard. Ooh! Live wildlife! The RSPB | :04:44. | :04:53. | |
must work very hard, volunteers and staff but they have started | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
employing a brand-new very exciting to to try to keep the mosaic going | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
and I'm going to go and meet the tool! I've got a feeling he's going | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
to get down and dirty! All week, Gillian Burke has been exploring the | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
wildlife around Arne. Red squirrels, reptiles and some beautiful spiders. | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
But tonight she meets some fabulous flying creatures of the night. | :05:20. | :05:29. | |
On the eastern reaches of the Jurassic Coast, a wild peninsular. | :05:30. | :05:42. | |
This is such a dramatic place. The real drama happens after dark. This | :05:43. | :05:54. | |
clifftop quarry, and used by humans, was discovered to be one of the most | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
important sites for bats in all of the UK. Incredibly, 15 of our 18 | :05:59. | :06:05. | |
resident species have been found here in the last five years. I'm | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
joining Nick Tomlinson, who would like to know why it is such a hot | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
spot, especially in autumn. We are going to put up this net at the top | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
of the poles into the bottom and it acts like a barrier, so they come | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
around the corner, this is in a corner and we have a net around the | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
corner that they fly into. This is like a dummy net? Yes. Perfect, like | :06:29. | :06:36. | |
a professional. Nick and his team of licensed researchers and enthusiasts | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
must record which bats are here and why. To find out we have all sorts | :06:40. | :06:47. | |
of technology at our disposal. Now we just have two weight. -- now we | :06:48. | :06:55. | |
must wait. The first thing that the thermal imaging camera picks up is a | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
roosting bat coming out of one of the caves. Sally soon picks up some | :07:00. | :07:07. | |
calls on her high-tech bat detector. What are we hearing? It is a | :07:08. | :07:14. | |
confusing picture. It sounds like a frog, it is actually a cricket in | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
the background. What was that? That was the little pipistrelle, the | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
smallest bat. It is calling. Each time you hear that it is catching | :07:24. | :07:30. | |
its prey? It is catching its prey. It is a great sound. What's amazing | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
is that we can't hear this, this piece of kit is converting it to | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
help us, what would otherwise be inaudible. Exactly. The pipistrelles | :07:41. | :07:47. | |
Zunes and ends -- pipistrelle soon ends up in the net and then the team | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
takes down its vital statistics. 30.4. Once in the hand we can see it | :07:53. | :08:00. | |
is an adult female who hasn't read this year. -- hasn't bred. Gorgeous | :08:01. | :08:14. | |
little animal. That is a beauty. This is a long eared bat. They come | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
down here to meet the opposite sex, it is basically a dating site. Speed | :08:20. | :08:25. | |
dating! Pretty much! Like most British species, long eared bats | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
make in the autumn. Gathering in a single place makes it easier to | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
select the best partner -- mate in the autumn. Would you like to have a | :08:36. | :08:42. | |
go with this one? Yes. Very gentle. My gosh, look at his ears! Isn't a | :08:43. | :08:48. | |
fantastic, great little creature. So beautiful to see the ears. The | :08:49. | :08:55. | |
entire time he was being processed, his ears were curled down but at the | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
last moment they opened and he went into the darkness. Beautiful. The | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
thermal imaging camera is picking up more and more activity. There are | :09:05. | :09:11. | |
four bats coming into view. Chasing each other. It's incredible | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
aerobatics. One third of British bats exhibit this behaviour, when | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
the males show off their flying skills. We won't know which species | :09:21. | :09:32. | |
this is until one goes into the net. It is the most numerous catch, the | :09:33. | :09:39. | |
Natterer's bat. They can catch a spider out of the middle of a spider | :09:40. | :09:46. | |
's web without hitting the web. The species tally increases. This is a | :09:47. | :09:53. | |
Bechstein's bat. Population around 2500 across the UK. There are more | :09:54. | :10:01. | |
hot for this species. A woodland specialist. If it is a woodland | :10:02. | :10:07. | |
species, is it a surprise to find it in the cave overlooking the sea? The | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
fact it is here shows the power of sex because these things are | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
probably not travelling more than one kilometre the whole summer but | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
in the autumn they will travel over 15 kilometres of countryside to get | :10:22. | :10:28. | |
to places like this. There he goes. Off into the darkness. In just one | :10:29. | :10:35. | |
night we have caught 27 bats, five different species. Some of them are | :10:36. | :10:41. | |
using the quarry to roost or fatten up for the winter. But it appears | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
that most are coming here from far and wide to find a mate. This quarry | :10:47. | :10:54. | |
is the biggest pick-up joint in town and one of the most important places | :10:55. | :10:56. | |
for bats in Britain. How fantastic to see so many bats. | :10:57. | :11:07. | |
It is a bit like speed dating at a supermarket. Getting your groceries | :11:08. | :11:13. | |
and everything at the same time. Have you tried it? Speed dating at | :11:14. | :11:19. | |
the supermarket? I'm only putting things straight on shelves, that's | :11:20. | :11:25. | |
as far as I can go, I can pull a trolley but not much else. You saw | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
that the bats were short distance migrants but at this time of year | :11:31. | :11:40. | |
there are some long distance migrants, called Matthews years | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
pipistrelle, and some come from Latvia and Lithuania. Some of them | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
go 4000 kilometres. -- called Nathusius' pipistrelle. They have | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
been found in Kent and other parts of the south-east. At this time of | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
year, these tiny bats, they weigh around six grams, moving from that | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
part of Europe to this to spend their winter. Incredible. Tiny | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
animal like that. We've just been seeing some bats about 200 metres | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
down here across the field where our thermal camera is. They are there | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
now, look at that. Now you're going to ask me which species it is. Yeah, | :12:20. | :12:26. | |
what species is that, Chris? The small, white distant bat! What we | :12:27. | :12:32. | |
can do in situations like this, we can postulate what species it is | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
determined by its behaviour, this bat is going up and down, taking | :12:38. | :12:42. | |
insects close to the ground. It isn't a long eared bat, they can | :12:43. | :12:48. | |
hunt in the trees, it isn't a horseshoe bat. This is a smaller | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
species, it may be a pipistrelle, it is unlikely to be a Daubenton's bat. | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
I'm going for a pipistrelle or Natterer's bat. If you are a bat | :12:58. | :13:03. | |
expert and you are certain what it is, let us know. Happy to be | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
corrected. It flew past the deer and when we arrived there was a deer | :13:09. | :13:14. | |
right behind us. It was a snag. It was warning itself by the fire. We | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
have a lot of live cameras around -- it was a snag. There is nothing on | :13:19. | :13:24. | |
this camera at the moment but we have learned a lot from the Badger | :13:25. | :13:30. | |
Camara. There two badgers around. It is near eight set. You may expect | :13:31. | :13:36. | |
for there to be more of them but he flagged is not rich in Atlanta so | :13:37. | :13:39. | |
you wouldn't expect many badgers around. This fox readily comes, it | :13:40. | :13:45. | |
is a young one, from this year. It hasn't been on its own, it has a | :13:46. | :13:51. | |
sibling too. We've seen a lot of interaction between the Badger and | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
the Fox and the two foxes. Look at that. That is a palmay newt. It was! | :13:56. | :14:08. | |
It is great to see this, at night they looked like white foxes but of | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
course that is their colouring and this is a very healthy looking fox. | :14:13. | :14:18. | |
These guys are doing very well at Arne and it is lovely to see them. I | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
think we should rename the camera at the Fox camera because we have seen | :14:24. | :14:28. | |
more foxes than badgers. Not a great place for badgers, though. This acid | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
soil, not many earthworms. We have seen the badgers out in the fields | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
where the deer are. Not the only live camera we have, we have rowboat | :14:39. | :14:44. | |
spoony, a artificial spoonbill out there on the edges of Poole Harbour. | :14:45. | :14:46. | |
There it is. We cannot see too much at the | :14:47. | :15:03. | |
moment. On the wader cam... Having given me the challenge to identify a | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
small bat from a distance, what is out there? Widgeon? Teal? I cannot | :15:09. | :15:20. | |
see it, I am afraid. We have seen plenty more, I have to say. Here we | :15:21. | :15:27. | |
are, this was our success, a spoonbill that has come to forage in | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
front of our robotic spoonbill camera. Up to 60 of these will | :15:33. | :15:41. | |
gather at Poole Harbour, the largest roost in the UK. They have started | :15:42. | :15:48. | |
breeding again recently. With the summer we have better views and | :15:49. | :15:52. | |
there was a host of wages. The numbers are building all the time as | :15:53. | :15:55. | |
we move to winter, coming from various parts of Europe. They might | :15:56. | :16:02. | |
not all stay in Poole Harbour, they might move on to other parts of the | :16:03. | :16:08. | |
UK or Europe. It is nice to see a curlew. And a snipe. This is a | :16:09. | :16:19. | |
fantastic thing. Becoming rarer in the UK. An extremely sensitive tip, | :16:20. | :16:30. | |
touching the surface of the mud. It can detect pressures and it will | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
tell it if there is any pray and it will seize it. We will be here for | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
Winterwatch and it should be bursting at the seams with birds. | :16:40. | :16:44. | |
Martin is finding out sometimes you need more than a tractor and digger | :16:45. | :16:50. | |
to manage a reserve. Very true. Some get agitated when | :16:51. | :16:57. | |
people chop down trees. I am not going to really. That is quite | :16:58. | :17:03. | |
right, you get agitated, but habitat management is having the right trees | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
in the right place and sadly this is the wrong tree in the wrong place. | :17:08. | :17:12. | |
It is a pine tree and these were planted all over the reserve just | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
after the war because we needed softwood to make pit props down | :17:18. | :17:25. | |
coalmines. This is no good on the heath. When the trees grow up, they | :17:26. | :17:31. | |
suffocate everything else. Down here there is nothing growing. It is | :17:32. | :17:35. | |
completely covered in needles, debris from the trees. This should | :17:36. | :17:41. | |
be Heather, Lola and Heather. Chopping the trees down is not so | :17:42. | :17:48. | |
bad -- low land. To remove this, you need a lot of heavy machinery. It is | :17:49. | :17:55. | |
difficult to get up here, very expensive and so the RSPB came up | :17:56. | :18:01. | |
with a novel solution. Come with me. Here is the novel solution. These | :18:02. | :18:14. | |
are pigs. They do not look like pigs because they have curly further. It | :18:15. | :18:21. | |
is snuffling with the snout. They like a banana. Here, mate, do you | :18:22. | :18:28. | |
want a banana? # Have a banana. That does not work. | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
I went out to see the effect these can have on the habitat under the | :18:34. | :18:39. | |
pine trees. It was astonishing. Look at this. That is how the whole | :18:40. | :18:44. | |
area looked. A lot of conifer and scrub underground. That is almost a | :18:45. | :18:51. | |
monoculture, not good for wildlife generally. Now look at this, | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
completely ploughed up. Hello. That is what the pigs have been able to | :18:57. | :19:03. | |
do, they have cleared the area completely. They will now go away | :19:04. | :19:07. | |
and new plants, things that we want here such as heather will grow up. | :19:08. | :19:16. | |
Look at this, the poodles of the pig world! | :19:17. | :19:22. | |
This is my favourite, this golden pig. They are busy, they never stop. | :19:23. | :19:33. | |
You would think the snout would be sensitive but it is unstoppable. | :19:34. | :19:39. | |
When it has cleared, heather will grow in the cleared area and that is | :19:40. | :19:46. | |
perfect for the lowland heathland specialities, things like the | :19:47. | :19:50. | |
Dartford warbler. 50 years ago there were only two pairs here and now | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
there are 60. This is Britain's rarest snake. The smooth snake. And | :19:56. | :20:04. | |
this is a lovely sand lizard. And on acid water you get specialist | :20:05. | :20:10. | |
animals such as the raft spider. An enormous spider. The pigs are doing | :20:11. | :20:18. | |
a wonderful job and it says the RSPB money and the pigs are getting a lot | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
of lovely food. I will give this one a little bit of a massage and see if | :20:24. | :20:34. | |
we can get more friendly. He looks very at home with the pigs. I like | :20:35. | :20:37. | |
the idea of animals doing conservation work. Do you know why? | :20:38. | :20:44. | |
Why? You do not have too pay them. You have to feed them and look after | :20:45. | :20:50. | |
them. Volunteer pigs are like that. The live cameras have got a lot of | :20:51. | :20:54. | |
action tonight and we saw this on the badger cam a couple of hours ago | :20:55. | :21:00. | |
and these are the foxes we were talking about. They are siblings and | :21:01. | :21:05. | |
doing exactly what you would expect young puppies to do, playing, | :21:06. | :21:11. | |
testing each other out. I have a puppy and it does a lot of biting | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
and that is what they are doing. One is mail the other is female and the | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
male will disperse, the female will probably stick around but it is | :21:22. | :21:27. | |
lovely to see. It is. I take umbrage with playing, I think they are | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
sorting out the hierarchy. They are playing, like we do. A little bit of | :21:32. | :21:38. | |
biting. Moving on. We have been watching the sika deer and the Stags | :21:39. | :21:45. | |
can be spectacular. They are not as big as red Stags, nor as small as | :21:46. | :21:53. | |
the roe deer, they are in between. They have been growing their antlers | :21:54. | :21:59. | |
since the summer. This is the rutting season and they are | :22:00. | :22:03. | |
vocalising a lot. Among the species they are perhaps the most vocal, | :22:04. | :22:08. | |
producing a range of grunting and groans and bleats. These are the | :22:09. | :22:13. | |
hinds, we have been watching these each night. This stag we have been | :22:14. | :22:22. | |
following. He is moving towards the Highness, because he has one idea on | :22:23. | :22:27. | |
his mind and that is mating. -- towards the hinds. They only have | :22:28. | :22:35. | |
one opportunity a year to do this and they are only in season for 24 | :22:36. | :22:43. | |
hours. We have had cameras on the hyenas and it is this time of year | :22:44. | :22:47. | |
they come together in a herd. There is one of last year's Young. The | :22:48. | :22:55. | |
tale is beautifully flared. Still trying to suckle. It will probably | :22:56. | :22:59. | |
stay with its mother until its third year and that is the time it will | :23:00. | :23:05. | |
successfully breed. They are tender with their young. This is the time | :23:06. | :23:10. | |
of year you see them in a herd. After the rutting season they tend | :23:11. | :23:14. | |
to only come together for grazing. We have watched them at night. They | :23:15. | :23:28. | |
are very vocal. SQUEAKING SOUND. That is an alarm call. The mother | :23:29. | :23:32. | |
will make it and her young will copy it, almost do it back to each other. | :23:33. | :23:38. | |
They start breeding in their third year and they continue to breed | :23:39. | :23:45. | |
until they are about 15 and so they are very productive. They can be | :23:46. | :23:49. | |
very productive. When we think of dear rutting there are classic | :23:50. | :23:55. | |
models with fallow deer, which establishes a rotting stand from | :23:56. | :24:00. | |
which he will bellow. The classic red deer where the males move to an | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
arena to compete with fighting and they manage a harem of females. The | :24:06. | :24:13. | |
sika deer behave differently, because it is a different set of | :24:14. | :24:17. | |
resources and habitats and animals. When they are in the woodland in the | :24:18. | :24:22. | |
daytime there is not much to eat. They have to come out at night and | :24:23. | :24:27. | |
the females go to the best foraging areas. These are the grassy fields | :24:28. | :24:32. | |
where we have watched them. The male deer followed them to the grassy | :24:33. | :24:38. | |
fields and patrol around behind the females, seeing if one of them will | :24:39. | :24:43. | |
come into season. There are other male deer about and occasionally | :24:44. | :24:46. | |
jostles, but not as much fighting as with the red deer. A lot of young | :24:47. | :24:53. | |
males will turn up, sniff about, see if there's a chance to sneak in. | :24:54. | :25:01. | |
Throughout the course of the day the biggest male deer will stick as | :25:02. | :25:04. | |
close as they can to the females and if there is an opportunity they will | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
mate. What leads to this difference in behaviour is the degree of | :25:10. | :25:13. | |
competition, the density of the male deer and distribution of the females | :25:14. | :25:17. | |
relative to their food. It is an unusual rut then you see another | :25:18. | :25:22. | |
species of deer in the UK. They are less studied the sika deer in the UK | :25:23. | :25:28. | |
than red deer and there is still stuff we need to learn about them. | :25:29. | :25:33. | |
One way of learning about animal behaviour is to use infrared cameras | :25:34. | :25:40. | |
and tracking technology. We have investigated how tracking technology | :25:41. | :25:43. | |
is helping us to understand the behaviour of badgers. I am a | :25:44. | :25:51. | |
journalist who has always had a passion for British wildlife. An | :25:52. | :26:00. | |
invitation to join scientist Rosie, who has just published a new study | :26:01. | :26:04. | |
into the movements of countryside badgers was something I could not | :26:05. | :26:10. | |
refuse. This is one of this year's Cubs. I will release it. By tracking | :26:11. | :26:20. | |
them closely raise dash-macro is the is investigating how bovine TB is | :26:21. | :26:27. | |
spread. They are a source of TB in cattle. It has never been there and | :26:28. | :26:33. | |
how they transmit it. The tracking work has examined how often and how | :26:34. | :26:37. | |
closely badgers and cattle interact with each other. | :26:38. | :26:46. | |
You can see the difference. This one is wearing a GPS collar. Rosie has | :26:47. | :26:55. | |
fitted collars on 50 badgers and their secret lives are being | :26:56. | :26:59. | |
revealed. You hope to tag more badgers? We hope to be able to do | :27:00. | :27:06. | |
more. We try to get at least one macro in each social groups so we | :27:07. | :27:10. | |
get a picture of where they are going across the whole farm. This | :27:11. | :27:15. | |
valuable location data is stored on the collars and can be downloaded | :27:16. | :27:21. | |
remotely. Now, onto a nearby sett. This is the sort of place badgers | :27:22. | :27:27. | |
and cattle have an opportunity to come into contact. We have a field | :27:28. | :27:33. | |
with cattle and a sett in the hedge. We will try to track it down and try | :27:34. | :27:42. | |
to download data. The beeping means it is nearby. There it is. Now that | :27:43. | :27:51. | |
we have located the badger, remarkably we can dramatically | :27:52. | :27:55. | |
download the data. Despite the badger being underground. We get a | :27:56. | :28:02. | |
location every 20 minutes. It like some fields, like this one, and | :28:03. | :28:07. | |
others not so much. Mrs one badger, incredible how far he has travel. -- | :28:08. | :28:14. | |
this is one badger. People think they come a short distance but in | :28:15. | :28:19. | |
this landscape, it is divided into territories. In the farmland site, | :28:20. | :28:26. | |
they love to be on the cattle pasture, because it is a rich source | :28:27. | :28:33. | |
of earthworms, their preferred food. They also put collars on cows in the | :28:34. | :28:37. | |
same area to find out where they spend their time. If I switch on, | :28:38. | :28:44. | |
you can overlay locations of cattle on the same farm. And from this data | :28:45. | :28:48. | |
you collate it to work out the behaviour pattern. We put the | :28:49. | :28:55. | |
collars on 54 badgers. The big question you try to answer is if | :28:56. | :29:01. | |
they come together. The short answer is no. We found badgers and cattle | :29:02. | :29:06. | |
use the same fields but they seldom use them at the same time. With | :29:07. | :29:13. | |
badgers mostly active at night, when cows are normally asleep, it is | :29:14. | :29:17. | |
thought they are selectively avoiding fields with cows and so | :29:18. | :29:21. | |
they rarely meet. To be sure of this, Rosie has taken the technology | :29:22. | :29:28. | |
one step further. The GPS collars are not a good way of looking at | :29:29. | :29:32. | |
meeting because they take the location every 20 minutes. A better | :29:33. | :29:38. | |
way is this technology. This is a radio transmitter on a collar and it | :29:39. | :29:46. | |
can be detected by this cam Carla at distances of two metres or less. | :29:47. | :29:51. | |
After that, the badgers, the cows, did they meet? | :29:52. | :29:56. | |
The short answer is, no. We had these on 421 cattle on four | :29:57. | :30:04. | |
different farms but we never detected contact between a collar | :30:05. | :30:07. | |
that was on a Badger and one that was on a cow. So the TB isn't coming | :30:08. | :30:12. | |
from the badgers and cows meeting, where is it coming from? Why | :30:13. | :30:18. | |
elimination it must be happening through the environment, the ground, | :30:19. | :30:23. | |
so we must find out where. We are sampling the soil, the Badger faeces | :30:24. | :30:29. | |
and water sources, trying to locate where in the environment the | :30:30. | :30:32. | |
bacteria are hiding. Rosie is continuing to work out how TB is | :30:33. | :30:39. | |
transmitted between animals in fields which will be invaluable | :30:40. | :30:44. | |
information in the ongoing debate into the control of this disease. | :30:45. | :30:50. | |
Rosie's investigations into badgers and cattle will continue and we will | :30:51. | :30:53. | |
bring you her results as they are published. If you want the latest on | :30:54. | :31:00. | |
badgers and bovine TB you can check out the BBC News website because | :31:01. | :31:05. | |
they have constant updates. I have just heard, talking of badgers, we | :31:06. | :31:10. | |
have them on the infrared camera. Is that two? It is the thermal camera, | :31:11. | :31:17. | |
and just behind the tree! Hopefully he comes out the other side. He is | :31:18. | :31:26. | |
playing peekaboo. Is that his tail? I don't think we'll wait. On Tuesday | :31:27. | :31:31. | |
we introduced you to a remarkable woman, brave and intrepid, called | :31:32. | :31:41. | |
Sasha Dench and she is doing a crazy mission of trying to follow the | :31:42. | :31:46. | |
migratory root of swans from the tundra in Russia all the way to the | :31:47. | :31:50. | |
UK. The film we showed you on Tuesday, she went from here, the | :31:51. | :31:55. | |
first leg of the journey, getting her to there. The update is that | :31:56. | :32:01. | |
unfortunately she had an accident, she has dislocated her knee. Was | :32:02. | :32:07. | |
that going to stop her? Of course not! This woman is on a mission, so | :32:08. | :32:17. | |
she modified her parrot motor -- para motor, it looks like a flying | :32:18. | :32:22. | |
tricycle and she did this so there was no pressure on her knee on | :32:23. | :32:26. | |
take-off and there it goes, precariously taking off and she is | :32:27. | :32:31. | |
continuing her mission to follow the buick swans. Over the last four | :32:32. | :32:37. | |
weeks she has been flying food Northern Europe and she has gone | :32:38. | :32:42. | |
here, to Estonia, where she landed a couple of days ago and she's been | :32:43. | :32:47. | |
grounded because of the weather. There is a lot of snow around but | :32:48. | :32:51. | |
the good news is that she isn't alone, she's with a lot the buick | :32:52. | :32:57. | |
swans, 3000 out of the 18,000 that are migrating have decided to stay | :32:58. | :33:02. | |
there. It is their staging post where they refuel. Some of them have | :33:03. | :33:10. | |
flown down to the Netherlands, they have seen 100 of them there. Some of | :33:11. | :33:16. | |
them will stay there, some of them will carry on to the UK and in fact | :33:17. | :33:22. | |
in Welney they've already had 20, more arriving and they will keep | :33:23. | :33:28. | |
arriving until February. She's going to carry on, hopefully the weather | :33:29. | :33:32. | |
will change and she will continue her journey. She has learned a lot | :33:33. | :33:36. | |
already but the most brilliant thing is that she has raised awareness for | :33:37. | :33:43. | |
the plight of Bewick's swans because their numbers have dropped | :33:44. | :33:47. | |
dramatically by one third over the last 15 years. When she has done | :33:48. | :33:52. | |
that journey, she hopes to understand the threats that they | :33:53. | :33:57. | |
face. But it is an incredible thing that she's taken on. To get that far | :33:58. | :34:04. | |
is amazing, she is two weeks behind schedule but we wish her luck and if | :34:05. | :34:07. | |
you would like to continue following her journey you can do that online, | :34:08. | :34:13. | |
details on our website. At the moment she is stuck in the snow in | :34:14. | :34:16. | |
Estonia so I bet she wants to know what the weather has in store for | :34:17. | :34:21. | |
us. One man may be able to give her good news, it is Nick Miller. There | :34:22. | :34:32. | |
may be a brief window of opportunity for Sacha and the swans at the end | :34:33. | :34:37. | |
of the weekend. It is low pressure in Estonia, it is rain and snow, a | :34:38. | :34:42. | |
headwind for much of the distance between there and here but if we | :34:43. | :34:45. | |
follow the wind and how they develop over the weekend, at the end of the | :34:46. | :34:49. | |
weekend the arrows will disappear for a brief time, high pressure and | :34:50. | :34:55. | |
then the wind will pick up on Tuesday and then we are back to | :34:56. | :34:59. | |
square one, another area of low pressure, rain and snow. Not just | :35:00. | :35:04. | |
difficult for Sacha and the swans but other birds that are trying to | :35:05. | :35:08. | |
migrate from Scandinavia. They have had an easy ride so far. For us next | :35:09. | :35:16. | |
week, hints of something coming from the north, cooling things down from | :35:17. | :35:20. | |
the mild levels at the moment. And we will look further ahead for | :35:21. | :35:25. | |
autumn into November. Something cooler, that would make sense but | :35:26. | :35:29. | |
perhaps temperatures falling below average, looking less likely than | :35:30. | :35:33. | |
usual for the time of year, strong storms with big winds, which is good | :35:34. | :35:38. | |
news for the very young, those seal pups we saw yesterday, they don't | :35:39. | :35:42. | |
want so many big waves crashing onto the shore line. It is good for us | :35:43. | :35:48. | |
too. What do you want to do after Autumnwatch, you want to see autumn | :35:49. | :35:51. | |
for yourself and if the weather is like this it won't get in your way. | :35:52. | :35:57. | |
Thank you, Nick, that is just the message. If you have kids, take them | :35:58. | :36:01. | |
out into the countryside to meet some wildlife. A few minutes ago out | :36:02. | :36:07. | |
in the fields behind me here we got this on our thermal camera. This is | :36:08. | :36:12. | |
one of the Sikas bags and it is you're innate in, nothing unusual | :36:13. | :36:16. | |
about that apart from the fact that it is covering itself in the you're | :36:17. | :36:23. | |
in Ammar because it uses it to identify itself, to tell other deer | :36:24. | :36:31. | |
about it age. Some of the liquid coming from the deer like that is | :36:32. | :36:38. | |
unique to the individual at this time of year so when he engages with | :36:39. | :36:42. | |
females and other males, they will know from sniffing him all of his | :36:43. | :36:45. | |
background biology. It is like a business card. Like his Internet | :36:46. | :36:55. | |
dating page. So this liquid which is packed with chemicals is very | :36:56. | :36:59. | |
important. If there are any more sites we will go to them. Back at | :37:00. | :37:07. | |
Easter we lost the BBC do something great campaign, we wanted to do | :37:08. | :37:11. | |
something great for nature and we have continued to do that in | :37:12. | :37:14. | |
Springwatch, encouraging people to volunteer to look after British | :37:15. | :37:22. | |
wildlife. We formed a partnership with the Royal Horticultural | :37:23. | :37:27. | |
Society. Martin dug deep into his wardrobe to find some smart clothes | :37:28. | :37:32. | |
and find out who had done well. I have come to the prestigious Royal | :37:33. | :37:36. | |
Horticultural Society Britain in Bloom awards. In this room are the | :37:37. | :37:43. | |
72 finalists. A lot of different categories but they have been | :37:44. | :37:48. | |
entered for the wildlife and conservation award. In a moment we | :37:49. | :37:55. | |
will find out who has won and why. Those who made the cut have created | :37:56. | :37:58. | |
wildlife havens all over the country. One of the most remarkable | :37:59. | :38:04. | |
green spaces isn't what you'd expect. Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park | :38:05. | :38:11. | |
is unrivalled and we are in woodland in zone two of Britain, a sense of | :38:12. | :38:15. | |
the countryside in the City where people can see butterflies and birds | :38:16. | :38:18. | |
and flowers and have a sense of escapism. Volunteers help to | :38:19. | :38:26. | |
maintain this site in the heart of London and thousands of people are | :38:27. | :38:30. | |
visiting through the year. In autumn, people come here to seek the | :38:31. | :38:37. | |
season change, the blackberries appearing, the rowan berries, the | :38:38. | :38:39. | |
seeds on the plants and the trees changing colour. That's really | :38:40. | :38:48. | |
powerful. You know, we have rare spiders and beetles and those that | :38:49. | :38:51. | |
are uncommon in the urban context because we want people to enjoy a | :38:52. | :38:57. | |
bit of the countryside in the City. But the award isn't just about | :38:58. | :39:03. | |
individual spaces. The Birmingham Ranger service has been commended | :39:04. | :39:07. | |
for their work across the City. We offer a range of different | :39:08. | :39:12. | |
programmes so people can come to our events. We have 200 year. Pupils | :39:13. | :39:21. | |
will come here and spend the day with a Ranger. The Ranger service | :39:22. | :39:28. | |
looks after 186 wildlife designated parks all over the City, from small | :39:29. | :39:34. | |
green spaces up to Sutton Park, the largest urban nature reserve in | :39:35. | :39:40. | |
Europe. They collaborate with many organisations do inspire the people | :39:41. | :39:45. | |
of Birmingham to get involved. We offer a volunteer programme, over | :39:46. | :39:49. | |
2500 individuals gave us 13,000 hours last year, helping us to get a | :39:50. | :39:54. | |
lot of work done that we wouldn't be able to do as a single team and it | :39:55. | :39:59. | |
engenders ownership of these sites. The parks are very well used and | :40:00. | :40:03. | |
valued and an important part in the life of the City and the people who | :40:04. | :40:09. | |
live here. The ranger service harnesses the power of the people on | :40:10. | :40:14. | |
a large scale. But you don't need to be in a major City to do your bit | :40:15. | :40:20. | |
for wildlife. Farnham, Surrey, where it small-scale people power is being | :40:21. | :40:29. | |
very effective too. We started in 2007, really a special place with a | :40:30. | :40:37. | |
mix of habitats. We are an entirely voluntary group, we have about 30 | :40:38. | :40:48. | |
active volunteers. The Bourne conservation group have created an | :40:49. | :40:52. | |
oasis for wildlife all year round with a variety of different | :40:53. | :40:56. | |
features. We have the wildlife pond which has frogs and newts, Aquatics | :40:57. | :41:04. | |
males and dragonflies. -- aquatic snails. We are keen to support the | :41:05. | :41:08. | |
bottom edge along of wildlife, beetles for example and for them we | :41:09. | :41:12. | |
put in a number of artificial habitats, log piles and we have stag | :41:13. | :41:22. | |
beetles in the area. 70% of all stag beetle sightings come from our own | :41:23. | :41:29. | |
gardens and bonds are home to over half of our frogs -- ponds. So | :41:30. | :41:35. | |
reserves and gardens are now crucial habitats for British wildlife and | :41:36. | :41:40. | |
the Britain in Bloom award is one way of encouraging this important | :41:41. | :41:46. | |
work. This is a hard-fought competition between the best of the | :41:47. | :41:49. | |
best and I have the pleasure of announcing the winner of the | :41:50. | :41:56. | |
wildlife and conservation award. OK, the judges were looking for three | :41:57. | :42:00. | |
things, horticulture, environment and community. Tower Hamlets | :42:01. | :42:09. | |
Cemetery Park are deserving and is the race and the winners of this | :42:10. | :42:13. | |
award. With over 30 acres of woodland, extensive wild flower | :42:14. | :42:20. | |
Meadows, the cemetery brings wildlife to people in the middle of | :42:21. | :42:27. | |
London. The Tower Hamlets project is incredible. So are the other | :42:28. | :42:33. | |
contestants. Here is the thing, you don't have to have 30 acres to play | :42:34. | :42:39. | |
with. My sister has sunk a Belfast sink into her back garden in the | :42:40. | :42:42. | |
middle of Bristol and now it is full of frogs. Even small things can make | :42:43. | :42:45. | |
a serious difference. Wise words! It's true, isn't it, we | :42:46. | :42:56. | |
can all do something to help wildlife. What have you done? It has | :42:57. | :43:05. | |
to be ponds. What about you? I am still waiting for some residents in | :43:06. | :43:12. | |
my bat box. Time for the finale of the Mouse Maze, we have been | :43:13. | :43:16. | |
challenging our mice here at Arne, we have a maze which is like a | :43:17. | :43:21. | |
Crystal Maze, we have changed it one way and then the other and then we | :43:22. | :43:24. | |
moved it vertically. How have they got on? Let's watch. Here they come. | :43:25. | :43:32. | |
This is a serious challenge, they need brainpower and athleticism too. | :43:33. | :43:37. | |
Mental and physical. I was concerned, I wondered if they would | :43:38. | :43:41. | |
crack this at all. This one certainly isn't doing a brilliant | :43:42. | :43:46. | |
job so far. Staying quite close to the entrance and it almost looks | :43:47. | :43:51. | |
like it's going to give up. Perhaps it isn't looking for food, it is | :43:52. | :43:57. | |
full ready, Michaela, it is just exploring! It is like an assault | :43:58. | :44:04. | |
course. It is exploring, really. That looks almost impossible, look | :44:05. | :44:07. | |
where the food is now, it's never going to get there. You can see that | :44:08. | :44:12. | |
they have to go over things, they must climb up things. That's an | :44:13. | :44:16. | |
interesting manoeuvre. Jackie Bruce Lee! Is it going to give up? -- | :44:17. | :44:26. | |
Jackie Chan. It is giving up. Coming back now. Let's see how long it | :44:27. | :44:28. | |
takes to actually solve this puzzle. Because it is eventually going to do | :44:29. | :44:41. | |
it. This is speeded up, obviously. Here it comes. It nearly popped out. | :44:42. | :44:49. | |
Look at those eyes. The whiskers working all the time. This is the | :44:50. | :44:55. | |
first time it solves the maze and it does it in 93 seconds. Off it goes | :44:56. | :45:10. | |
with a nut. And it decides to settle down in the maze. Why not? It is | :45:11. | :45:16. | |
interesting. When they meet there is often a great deal of aggression and | :45:17. | :45:24. | |
handbags. Remember, this is in the dark. It is probably a surprise when | :45:25. | :45:29. | |
they bump into each other. It is fascinating because when they meet, | :45:30. | :45:35. | |
these two, there is no aggression and I suspect they are probably | :45:36. | :45:40. | |
related. They know each other. We can see them greet each other. | :45:41. | :45:48. | |
Fascinating. I did not think they would crack that. I thought they | :45:49. | :45:55. | |
would. It did take a greater number of attempts to first find it in 93 | :45:56. | :46:01. | |
seconds. They have normally done it in eight, ten goes, but this time | :46:02. | :46:06. | |
many more. Once they cracked it, how quickly could they get to the nuts? | :46:07. | :46:15. | |
After a hit of refreshment the mouse enters the maze. Look at it go. | :46:16. | :46:26. | |
17 seconds. Amazing. What a mouse. I think it is brilliant. Fantastic. | :46:27. | :46:47. | |
Behind the fun we have done some science. What have we learned? They | :46:48. | :46:53. | |
are using maps. They are firstly using a visual map and we learned | :46:54. | :46:58. | |
this when we twisted the maze. They use external stimuli they can see | :46:59. | :47:05. | |
through the glass. They use the whiskers, constantly feeling the | :47:06. | :47:09. | |
sides. Maybe they can remember turn left, turn right, who knows? They | :47:10. | :47:16. | |
use a smell map stop they are you're relating constantly in the maze and | :47:17. | :47:27. | |
they can actively choose -- urinating. They are developing a | :47:28. | :47:36. | |
working memory, that once you have learnt it you can repeat it. After | :47:37. | :47:42. | |
14 days the mice will forget that. Why do they do it? At this time of | :47:43. | :47:48. | |
year, going into winter, every second counts. You cannot afford to | :47:49. | :47:54. | |
waste time when finding food because in nature, it is not tolerant of the | :47:55. | :47:59. | |
wastage. They have to shop efficiently and that is what they | :48:00. | :48:03. | |
are doing. Brilliant. It has been really great. We have something even | :48:04. | :48:11. | |
more exciting than the mouse maze. Surely not. It is time to get the | :48:12. | :48:15. | |
result of the naming of the golden eagle, the chick we were watching on | :48:16. | :48:21. | |
Springwatch. What an amazing little chick. We watched it when it was | :48:22. | :48:29. | |
tiny, we have watched it grow up, it it has fledged. We asked you to come | :48:30. | :48:36. | |
up with suggestions of names. Thousands of you did and there was a | :48:37. | :48:41. | |
huge variety. We whittled it down to three. We chose the ones we wanted | :48:42. | :48:48. | |
to back. I went for Hermione, a great Harry Potter name. No | :48:49. | :48:52. | |
surprises, head girl. I went for Freya. A goddess. I went for | :48:53. | :49:00. | |
Highlander, because there can be only one. 10,000 view voted. I can | :49:01. | :49:07. | |
tell you the votes are in. We have the results. Personally delivered by | :49:08. | :49:17. | |
a passing bird. You do not know the result. In third place, with 18% | :49:18. | :49:26. | |
was... Highlander. In second place with 27% was Hermione. In first | :49:27. | :49:36. | |
place with 55% of the votes was... Freya. That is what our golden eagle | :49:37. | :49:43. | |
chick will be named and I think it is a beautiful name and probably the | :49:44. | :49:50. | |
best name of the three. Thanks everybody for getting involved. We | :49:51. | :49:55. | |
have tagged the chick and can bring queue up on Winterwatch when | :49:56. | :49:59. | |
hopefully she will have spread her and fledged further. We are lucky we | :50:00. | :50:05. | |
have a selection of brilliant camera men and women filming. Robin Smith | :50:06. | :50:10. | |
is about to take us to one of his favourite places. | :50:11. | :50:21. | |
I first went canoeing on the River Wye when I was 15 years old. As a | :50:22. | :50:30. | |
boy from the East End of London coming to this part of the current | :50:31. | :50:36. | |
tree for the first time was a pretty big deal. I have had a love affair | :50:37. | :50:47. | |
with it ever since. Autumn is a special time of the year to be on | :50:48. | :50:54. | |
the river. It is very steep valleys and woodland on most of the banks | :50:55. | :50:59. | |
for the majority of the lower sections of the river and this time | :51:00. | :51:02. | |
of year, I don't think there is anywhere like it in the country. | :51:03. | :51:08. | |
Historically going back hundreds of years people have used all over the | :51:09. | :51:14. | |
world to get close to wildlife. The birds see more tolerant, I can get | :51:15. | :51:18. | |
closer as I travel through, from that boat. Because you are moving at | :51:19. | :51:28. | |
the same rate as the current, it is almost like you are part of the | :51:29. | :51:31. | |
environment, it is taking you where it wants to go. | :51:32. | :51:38. | |
The canoe is an excellent way to put camera traps on the river and it | :51:39. | :51:44. | |
gives me access to places I would not normally be able to get to by | :51:45. | :51:50. | |
foot or by car. If I get regular hits on camera trap I know it is a | :51:51. | :51:54. | |
good place to spend time my main camera. I have had pretty good hits | :51:55. | :52:02. | |
so far with a mix of things. The most exciting is we have had otters, | :52:03. | :52:08. | |
a mother with two Cubs and possibly a dog otter on his own, four all | :52:09. | :52:16. | |
visiting the same spot and it looks like they use it as a scent marking | :52:17. | :52:24. | |
place, by leaving a spray, like an oily substance, it almost has a | :52:25. | :52:31. | |
sweet smell. Some people say it smells like jasmine tea. At this | :52:32. | :52:36. | |
time of year it is a time of plenty and the last stop for a lot of | :52:37. | :52:43. | |
animals before winter hits. They try to do everything to store food for | :52:44. | :52:46. | |
the winter and fill their system with food. | :52:47. | :52:58. | |
Good long days paddling along the river and you often feel like you | :52:59. | :53:04. | |
have done some exercise and it is really nice when you find a spot to | :53:05. | :53:09. | |
set up camp and settle for the evening and you have that warm | :53:10. | :53:13. | |
tiredness that only comes from work, really. All you can hear is the | :53:14. | :53:21. | |
running water, just the sound of the wildlife around you. | :53:22. | :53:48. | |
Autumn seems to give the perfect combination of weather conditions to | :53:49. | :53:54. | |
give the most amazing mist on the river. They just hang in the | :53:55. | :54:07. | |
valleys, low down to the water. The snake of mist hugging the river | :54:08. | :54:11. | |
along the valley bottom, whereas on the hillside, it is clear. It is | :54:12. | :54:15. | |
never as good as it is in the autumn. | :54:16. | :54:22. | |
I managed to find a deeper who was frantically foraging in the | :54:23. | :54:32. | |
shallows, catching snails and grubs. I watched him for a couple of hours, | :54:33. | :54:39. | |
he let to be get really close. It is a really healthy sign because it | :54:40. | :54:44. | |
means right down to that microscopic level, the fish and insects life is | :54:45. | :54:48. | |
abundant. To me, it is a sign the river is in good condition, really | :54:49. | :54:57. | |
healthy. There is nothing like being able to pack your boat in minutes | :54:58. | :55:01. | |
and you are gone, you are part of the river again. If somebody told me | :55:02. | :55:10. | |
as that 15-year-old boy that one day I would be living a stone's throw | :55:11. | :55:16. | |
from this river, I would not leave it and I still have to pinch myself | :55:17. | :55:21. | |
now, really. -- I would not have believed it. | :55:22. | :55:28. | |
That looked tranquil. As Robin was saying, camera traps are a great way | :55:29. | :55:35. | |
of finding out what wildlife you have around you. There have been | :55:36. | :55:45. | |
some magic moments. The spider crabs, fantastic, what a spectacle. | :55:46. | :55:49. | |
Thousands appearing off the beaches south Wales. Coming out, finding | :55:50. | :55:58. | |
their way out of their old shells. Awesome. I am going to go for the | :55:59. | :56:08. | |
sand hoppers. We have to champion the underdog look at every aspect of | :56:09. | :56:14. | |
ecology and sometimes the little things mean more because many birds | :56:15. | :56:19. | |
come to feed on the sand hoppers through the course of the winter. I | :56:20. | :56:24. | |
will go for something emotional, the gorgeous golden eagle chick that is | :56:25. | :56:32. | |
now named Freya, fledging. This was the moment she left the nest, spread | :56:33. | :56:40. | |
her wings and flew through the beauty of the Scottish Highlands. | :56:41. | :56:44. | |
Fantastic. It will be exciting to follow the eagle. Sadly we have | :56:45. | :56:49. | |
almost run out of time but join me for a Facebook chat immediately | :56:50. | :56:55. | |
after the show. Ask me some questions and I will do my best to | :56:56. | :57:00. | |
answer. We will be back at RSPB Arne in the winter. This series may have | :57:01. | :57:07. | |
come to an end but you can stay in touch online with a lot going on on | :57:08. | :57:13. | |
social media and the website. We will see you for Winterwatch. We | :57:14. | :57:19. | |
will say goodbye, but we will leave you with some highlights from | :57:20. | :57:20. | |
Autumnwatch 2016. Goodbye. That is why we are here because it | :57:21. | :57:38. | |
is so gorgeous being down on the wetlands. | :57:39. | :57:50. | |
That is a strong look. She is absolutely adorable. | :57:51. | :58:28. | |
Pigs! Our eagle. I am in love. | :58:29. | :58:31. |
