Gillian Burke was born just outside Nairobi, Kenya and lived what she describes as a “very happily feral” childhood, hunting barefoot for insects outside their house.
“I hated shoes,” she told the Radio Times, “and would kick them off as soon as I got home from school”.
She studied biology at Bristol University before working as a researcher for BBC’s Natural History Unit.
Gillian now lives in Cornwall with her two children.
Michaela Strachan

Hailing from Epsom, Surrey, Michaela began her career as performer in theatre before moving on to Saturday-morning television in the 1980s.
Like Chris, she is known for the 80s kids show, The Really Wild Show.
During her long career, Michaela has been a presenter for GMTV, and Wide Awake Club -she was also a regular reporter for BBC One’s Countryfile.
She also hosts Springwatch and Winterwatch.
Iolo Williams

Good new for fans, Iolo Williams is back on Autumnwatch for the new series, after he missed the 2021 season.
He was unavailable for the last series due to “conflicting schedules”.
But the Welsh wonder, who joined the series back in 2019, he back on the show.
Iolo has a long history as a wildlife expert.
He joined the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) in 1985, where he stayed for 14 years and worked as a regional co-ordinator.
This led to him making appearances in the media and he made a name for himself as a leading expert on Welsh bird life.
