Countryfile visits the Norfolk coast for a seasonal spectacle. Matt Baker and Julia Bradbury are at the RSPB bird reserve at Snettisham finding out why this stretch of coast is so popular with tens of thousands of over-wintering birds. They are joined by Autumnwatch colleague Richard Taylor-Jones, who is helping to capture all that bird life on camera. Matt also meets up with the family keeping the first ever Wildlife Trust reserve at Cley Marshes in good order. Meanwhile, Julia takes a walk on the wild side to photograph Norfolk's seals. The number of seals born on local beaches has doubled so far this season. No-one is sure why they are so successful there, and it is hoped that identifying individuals will help experts understand more. John Craven is at a Bristol city farm discovering just how Children in Need spend the money that is raised by projects like the Countryfile calendar. Tom Heap investigates whether enough is being done to keep the countryside open to ethnic minorities, while Adam catches up with the changing seasons down on the farm.
