Although he was broadcasting outside and seemed to be ready for the occasion, it was another piece of the ensemble that caught the eyes of viewers.
During the entire 22 minute broadcast he appeared on screen wearing a bucket hat.
However, this is no ordinary head piece as viewers quickly noticed the Prada branding on the right hand side, directly facing the camera.
According to the designers official website, a similar Tundra coloured nylon hat fetches a price of £520.
Viewers took to X - formerly known as Twitter - as they were left completely shocked by the presence of such an item.
One viewer asked: "Is Chris wearing a Prada hat?????."
A second noted the enormous price tag, writing: "Geezer on Springwatch wearing a £500 prada bucket hat."
"Packham’s Prada hat on Springwatch. ????????????," clapped a third fan.
Whilst a fourth penned: "Chris packham rocking the prada bucket hat whilst hosting #springwatch."
