A Highland rewilding centre – the first of its kind world-wide – will become the set for a brand new wildlife show starring two popular presenters.

Chris Packham and Meghan McCubbin are set to visit Dundreggan Rewilding Centre near Loch Ness as the first location for their new online programme called "8 out of 10 Bats".

The duo will come to the rewilding centre run by charity Trees for Life in late October in a bid to showcase the fascinating wildlife in the area.

A Trees For Life spokesperson said: "We are really excited to be hosting Chris and Megan for this wildlife show and having them here at Dundreggan, the world's first rewilding centre.

"With so much loom and gloom about wildlife and nature in the news these days, this series will put a spotlight on how amazing some of our wildlife is.

"We hope this will shed a light on the natural world and Dundreggan is an excellent place to be – we have been working on rewilding this site for 15 years. We hope this will inspire the audience to learn more about rewilding."

With the news that the popular BBC's Autumnwatch was cancelled, 8 Out of 10 Bats aims to fill a gap for wildlife enthusiasts.

Dundreggan is the first location after which the show will stream from the British Wildlife Centre.

More information on dates for the show and a possible chance to meet Chris and Megan will be released on our channels.
