Cute badger cubs, romantic cuttlefish and striking puffins are among the wildlife wonders to admire as Springwatch returns to BBC2 with more seasonal stories showcasing the power of nature.

This show is a never-ending source of joy as you never know what you'll see,' says presenter Chris Packham, who, along with his stepdaughter Megan McCubbin, Michaela Strachan and Iolo Williams, will report on the dramas unfolding in nests, ponds and forests all across the country.

Here, Chris, 61, Michaela, 56, and Megan, 27, tell TV Times what's in store over three weeks of live shows...

Where are you all based?

MICHAELA Chris and I are returning to Wild Ken Hill in Norfolk, which is an extraordinary place. I was looking at last year's series and couldn't believe the amount of nests and variety of birds, so it's really exciting to be going back.
