I note the BBC are going to show a one off special winter watch next Wednesday. Will be interesting to see how the mild winter has affected nature etc..
Can't help but think this idea was conjured up last winter - I bet all the bbc heads were thinking wouldn't it be good to show the effects of deep cold etc.. alas it will be interesting to see what footage they show - daffodils springing up in early jan no doubt!
I do think they are very late in showing the show in terms of any live action - we are entering early spring in terms of natures calandar - would have been better if it had been shown in early jan - but I guess they wanted to broadcast it at the end of winter in order to maximise the opportunities of experiencing cold conditions. Good job we had the short lived cold spell earlier this month then!
Recent spring watch and autumn watch episodes have coincided with unusually warmer than average spells of weather .

Winterwatch
9pm Wednesday 22nd February, BBC Two: Chris, Kate, Martin and Michaela explore how our wildlife has coped this winter.
Duration: 1 hour
Chris Packham, Kate Humble and Martin Hughes-Games are at the Brecon Beacons National Park to reveal how the UK's wildlife is faring this winter. The mild start followed by plummeting temperatures are setting a real challenge. The team find out how plants and animals are managing to survive, and what viewers can do to help.
They also report on a surprising influx of owls, why the ptarmigan could be the UK's toughest bird, and show why winter is actually the best time of year to see some of the country's biggest wildlife spectacles.
Meanwhile, Michaela Strachan reports from a swallow roost in South Africa, where millions of birds have arrived from the UK and beyond to escape the northern winter altogether
