Jutting out into the North Sea is Spurn Point, a sandy spit at the mouth of the Humber Estuary. It's a place of perpetual renewal, where creatures, habitats and people must constantly adapt to a landscape that refuses to stand still.

Along this narrow three-mile ribbon of land, Sean Fletcher and Anita Rani join the team restoring a long-lost resident - the native oyster, returning to these shores after an absence of 85 years. Sean also learns how people have settled, built and farmed in this ever-shifting environment.

Anita is out on the mudflats taking part in a routine safety drill, preparing for the very real danger of vehicles succumbing to mud and tides. A local poet reveals the inspiration he finds in this landscape.

Away from Spurn Point, John Craven launches this year’s Countryfile Photographic Competition in aid of ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Children in Need.

And after the driest spring in half a century, Charlotte Smith investigates the impact of wildfires on our countryside and asks how well prepared we are for a future where they’re expected to be more common.
