Countryfile - Autumn Spectacle

Countryfile - Autumn Spectacle - In the heart of Norfolk, adjacent to the majestic expanse of the Wash, unfolds one of the UK’s most breathtaking wildlife phenomena, known fondly as the Snettisham Spectacular. Here, Joe Crowley and Charlotte Smith embark on an immersive journey, witnessing firsthand the awe-inspiring sight of countless wading birds ascending in unison against the autumn sky—a natural orchestration triggered by the season's highest tides which disturb these creatures from their habitual feasting grounds on the rich, sprawling mudflats.
