Autumnwatch

From their new home on the magical island of Brownsea in Dorset, Bill Oddie and Kate Humble return to follow the most dramatic season of the year, aided by a cast of red squirrels, sika deer and spectacular birdlife on the lagoon. Meanwhile, Simon King's quest to unravel some autumn mysteries begins with the fallow deer rut and Gordon Buchanan braves cruel storms as he follows the fate of the grey seal colony on the Farne Islands, as young are born in harsh conditions.

On Brownsea island Bill and Kate set a challenge for the red squirrels to find out whether they are as clever as their grey counterparts. We look at why the New Forest is such a special place and the fallow deer rut comes to a head for Simon. Catch up with Gordon Buchanan and the latest from the grey seal colony on the Farne Islands and join in our mission to find out more about our garden birds.

Simon heads to the urban jungle of Birmingham where he encounters deer in the city. But how do they get there? Bill and Kate keep you up to date on the red squirrels and lagoon life on Brownsea island, also reporting on other stories from around the country. The stakes get higher for the grey seal pups as winter draws near on the Farne Islands.

Bill and Kate update us on the red squirrel obstacle course and we see whether there is a pecking order unfolding on our bird feeders. Simon brings us more surprises from the city and Gordon settles down with the grey seals for the weekend on the stormy Farne Islands. We give you loads of pointers for what you can do to experience autumn over the weekend with BBC Breathing Places.
