Autumnwatch
It's the final weekend of the Autumnwatch Live webcams. The team are focusing their cameras on the smallest and rarest of the swans found in the British Isles, the Bewick's swan. They migrate to the UK each autumn to escape the harsh winter conditions of their Siberian breeding grounds.
Around 300 of these magnificent birds make the perilous 2,000 mile trip to spend the winter at WWT Slimbridge. Winters in the UK might not feel mild to us sensitive soles but compared to Arctic Russia for these swans it's positively tropical.
In addition to the live pictures we're also running a series of interviews by naturalist and broadcaster Chris Sperring. Chris is speaking to experts from Slimbridge and beyond to discover the natural history of the Bewick's swans, of the other species at the centre and of the estuary itself as autumn turns to winter. Tune in for some fascinating analysis.
Also on Red Button, we have a seasonal selection of photos. The images are chosen by the web team from pictures viewers have uploaded to the .
Get involved on the Autumnwatch website.
