Ellie visits the ancient woodland at the edge of an old RAF base where bats have set up home in old wartime buildings, and she discovers that it's not just bats hibernating there - butterflies do it too.
Site not named but think must be Woodall Spa around 22.15 min into the programme on BBC iplayer .
Also around 49 mins into the programme-Gibralter Point on the Wash. The old bird watcher's shelter has an ex military look about it-brick built with a concrete slab roof. Quadrant shelter?
I think the brick built structure was a wartime searchlight for the emergency coastal battery that didn't seem to have left a trace. I suspect the searchlight survived by being used as a Coastguard lookout and then as a bird lookout.
