Autumnwatch 2008 comes to Brownsea Island
October 1, 2008
The BBC has decided to base Autumnwatch 2008 on Brownsea Island.
Brownsea Island in Poole Harbour is the new location for the BBC’s Autumnwatch this year. Owned by The National Trust, with over 200 acres managed by Dorset Wildlife Trust as a nature reserve, the island is home to a nationally important population of red squirrels, a host of wildfowl and internationally important numbers of wading birds.
Autumnwatch will be broadcast on BBC2 from Monday 27th October 2008 for two weeks, Monday to Thursday at 8pm.
