WATCH CAPE ANN’S MONARCH BUTTERFLIES ON BBC AUTUMNWATCH NEW ENGLAND TODAY!

Posted on by Kimsmithdesigns

Dear Friends of Beauty on the Wing,

Unlike the UK’s BBC, where Autumnwatch New England aired four consecutive evenings, the series is only running three nights in the U.S., and the Monarch episode is not included in tonight’s PBS version of the show.

The good news though is that the Monarch episode aired last night on the BBC, the final night of the UK series, and you can watch it right now, on youtube!

The series is not yet available on the BBC’s website but it has been posted here [https://youtu.be/RB5FkrvuVzU].

A friend shared an email from her sister last night. Her sister lives in the UK and here is what she wrote about Gloucester-

So exciting!
We were idly watching a programme called Autumn watch which this year has been filmed in New England. It has been based in New Hampshire (Lake Squam). They began to talk about the migration of the monarch butterflies when suddenly they are in Gloucester! We had very good pictures of Gloucester which looked beautiful! Lovely pictures of good harbour beach etc…..
They’ve now gone to Boston and are talking about wild turkeys!
What a programme!
Love M.

  2. Congratulations Kim. Thanks for the pass-on the butterfly article starts around 22:32 well done. I watched this entire BBC video very nice and saw then out by the paint factory also. The whole gamut of animals was a nice series indeed, even the timber rattler. Thanks for sharing! 🙂 Dave & Kim 🙂

  4. Hi. We watched the show also, but didn’t see the segment on Monarch Butterflies in Gloucester. We’ll definitely watch the BBC version. Thanks for letting us know. The show was very pleasant.
