Who is presenting Springwatch in 2025? Chris Packham, Michaela Strachan and Iolo Williams will be on presting duty. But they will be joined by some other faces throughout the three weeks. Speaking ahead of Springwatch 2025, Michaela said: 'This year, we're at a new site, and that's very exciting because we'll be able to focus on bird nests that we haven't been able to before, like the ring ouzel, the redstart, and the pied flycatcher. But it doesn't necessarily mean we'll get those nests, because Springwatch is unpredictable, and that's what I really enjoy about the programme. It's the unpredictable stories that nature tells, and then we tell those stories to the viewers.' Iolo added: 'I'm really looking forward to going into Belfast to look at some of the urban wildlife there. They've got some amazing things and it's very exciting. They've got tern rafts where you've got nesting terns and feeding waders.

It's great for us to show things like golden eagles and white-tailed eagles and basking sharks, but wildlife for most people is what they see in their gardens or in their local parks or in town.' The Springwatch Team also includes London-based influencer and naturalist Lira Valencia. Resident Springwatch researcher and expert ornithologist Jack Baddams is part of the team as well. As well as sharing all the behind-the-scenes extra wildlife moments on Springwatch's social platforms, Hannah Stitfall will be dropping into the BBC Two show to share her own wildlife moments at Longshaw with Chris and Michaela. Megan McCubbin is back and she uncovers the unsavoury world of egg stealing/collecting by joining the team fighting to protect our precious birds of prey. Ornithologist Sean Ronayne is also part of the Springwatch team for 2025. He is on a mission to record the sound of every bird species in Ireland. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad
