In this episode, Winterwatch looks at wonderful warming winter gatherings. Everyone comes together in the winter – and so do the animals.

Chris Packham will be live in the New Forest to look at what’s been happening in the badger sett in the New Forest – as well as the latest action from the River Ness. Iolo Williams is looking at otters at CAT in Wales and how more otters are being encouraged to come to the site through the constrution of holts.

There are more winter wildlife reports from Gillian Burke down in Cornwall, and in the second of a four part look by Megan McCubbin at species that we don’t love as much as we should, she swims with jellyfish in a bid to understand why they are misunderstood.

We’re also with actor and keen birder Sam West as he teams up with sound recordist Gary Moore at RSPB Minsmere to better understand the sounds of our winter birds.
