Any update on your views on Austerity?

Great place, go if you can. Last time there we saw Ospreys. Fantastic.
A love letter to Arne… 💌
This year’s Winterwatch was the last at RSPB Arne...but we've had some unforgettable moments.
As the series moves on, the team reflect on this wild and wonderful place.

If you’re able to buy a book from them, this would go such a long way to help support them rebuild in the aftermath.
