What's the story?
Grab your thermals, pack a flask and bring the night vision cameras.
Oh no. We're going camping.
Even better. Autumnwatch 2019 begins on BBC Two, Tuesday, 8pm.
Ah, but why do we need all the gear?
I thought we could try our own Autumnwatch in the back garden.
I'd rather just watch it on the telly.
Fair enough. Chris Packham, Michaela Strachan, Gillian Burke and Iolo Williams will broadcast live from the Dell of Abernethy in the Cairngorms.

The opening instalment sees Tim Peake explain how autumn was born four-and-a-half billion years ago.
Tim Peake? That name sounds familiar.
He's the British astronaut.
Muscling in on Brian Cox's territory, eh?
Um. Not really.
What else can we expect?
Nest box cams and infra-red cameras have been set up to capture footage of squirrels, pine martens, wood mice and badgers – not to forget the elusive otters and resident tawny owl.
Earlier this year, Springwatch launched its largest-ever citizen science project, Gardenwatch. The results will be revealed during Autumnwatch.

There will also be segments about the Manx shearwater colony on Rum and a foray into fungus at Abernethy, one of the country's mushroom and toadstool hot spots.
Sold! See you on the sofa?
I'll bring the hot chocolate.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
