We are now on day 3 of the live Autumnwatch shows, having seen the Barnacle Geese on Monday and Whooper Swans yesterday, what can we expect tonight? You'll have to tune in at 8pm on BBC2 to find out!

Michaela had a go at feeding our wild Whooper Swans on last night's show. Here you can see her in the Peter Scott Observatory showing off the fantastic wallpaper looking for some named swans.

Come and see the swan feeds for yourselves at 11am and 2pm every day!
