East Yorkshire

Matt and Ellie are in East Yorkshire, where Ellie takes to the water near the mighty Bempton Cliffs, home to a quarter of a million seabirds. She helps with an important bird count where, for the first time, the RSPB are using a drone to help gauge numbers. She also joins photographer Steve Race trying to capture images of dive-bombing gannets and finds herself at sea with the fishermen who are fishing for litter, an eye-catching scheme by those on the front line to pull rubbish from our waters. Matt is on the 10,000 acre farm where they don't do things by halves. Big machines. Big fields. And thousands and thousands of pigs. He also tries his hand at fly fishing on the UK's most northerly chalk stream. Adam looks at the county breeds of Lincolnshire. Tom asks whether the government is doing enough to provide legal campsites for the travelling community. John is joined by Bill Bailey and new judge Naomi Wilkinson to launch this year's Countryfile Photographic Competition.
