Since this was the answer about venue in Spring, why don't you try the same source for date in Autumn:
"To be announced on Thursday as per the Springwatch Facebook page"
Have a nice day

There was no unsprung on Autumnwatch in 2016 and Winterwatch in January of this year for the first time and there are now no live webcams all day behind the red button on the BBC on Autumnwatch and Winterwatch for the last 2-3 years approx. Both items now just appear on Springwatch now. Probably the reasons are because of the general cuts at the BBC because of that freeze on the TV Licence for 5 years and wildlife programmes are now being affected by cuts like lots of other programmes at the BBC.Enjoyed the Bee eaters footage, gutted there's no Unsprung

I do with a friend of mine from my RSPB Group. Neither of us have our own transport, so we use the public bus service for travel.Just an idea but maybe get out and see some stuff for real?

Hated the Bee eater footage, basically because the site was only 15 miles from where I live, and I physically couldn't get there!!
Are urban foxes regarded as pests? Should SpringWatch/AutumnWatch pander to the "fluffy bunny" brigade? Why do people encourage urban foxes by feeding them, when there are copious amounts of "fast food" left on our streets?
Does leaving food out for "desirable" animals also encourage the less desirable, e.g. rats?
Should there be a more balanced approach? On I personal note I am against driven grouse shooting but have no objection to deer hunting in the highlands of Scotland.

Why not? I managed to get there using public transport + came up from London?
