Springwatch with the RSPB

Nature lovers around the country have been glued to their screens for the return of BBC2's Springwatch programme. Have you enjoyed seeing our brilliant wildlife on screen?

If you love nature and want to know where to go and see the wildlife you've been watching on the TV, you've come to the right place!

Our Dates with Nature will introduce you to amazing creatures and allow you to get up close and personal with all your Springwatch favourites. And if that's not enough, we have more than 200 nature reserves for you to choose from throughout the UK, plus a host of special events to celebrate the return of Springwatch.

We're very excited that two of our vice presidents, Kate Humble and Chris Packham (the man tasked with taking over the reins from Bill Oddie on the Springwatch sofa) are fronting the show. Look out for our reserves and their amazing wildlife on the show - and then come and see it for yourself!

Help us help swifts

We need your help to find out more about our swifts. Their numbers have declined dramatically in the past 10 years; we're not sure why, but one of the possible reasons is that their nest sites are being destroyed. Tell us where you see swifts help us to help them. More...
