Sadly, the lockdown institution which was the Self-Isolating Bird Club broadcast on social media, presented by the brilliant Chris Packham and Megan McCubbin and enjoyed by so many people came to an end in May 2021 .... see here.
Chris went on to co-present BBC2 Springwatch as usual with some limited appearances from Megan.
However, both of them are returning on Sunday 29th August 2021 with a new series documenting their road trip across the UK and their amazing wildlife encounters.
Chris said: “The UK is a remarkable place to find wildlife and it’s only a weekend away! Megs and I have always been up for an adventure, some great wildlife and an ice-cream, so this sometimes hectic, always eclectic and wholly electric trip around our great-green backyard was bound to be a winner. We go, we see, we eat vegan sarnies and we savour the best of the UK’s wild spots and wildlife. Throw in some punk rock, vintage summer wear and the binoculars and you’ve got a road trip with a recipe for success!”.
Megan said: “I am so excited to share this series with viewers - it’s a 'wild summer' with a difference! With wildlife at its heart, Chris and I travel the length of the UK exploring its natural and cultural wonders and discuss important topics that make us who we are. Everything from modern families, neurodiversity and the health of our environment”.
I am really looking forward to this even though it is only 6 x 30 minute programmes.
