Autumnwatch was a huge success, with Bill insisting on dying his hair to match the red squirrels featured in the show. The jury's still out on which one's cutest. Kate & Bill spent two happy weeks at the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust at Martin Mere in Lancashire. And guess what – Springwatch looks like returning to our screens again in 2008.
