I promised some more behind the scenes photos from our new location at Ynys-hirearlier this week. As luck would have it I was there yesterday. The sun shone, the birds sung (especially loud were the black caps and willow warblers in the woodland) and I had my camera to hand...
The mini-cam team prepare to rig a new nest camera
It's empty now but in a week the production tent will be the busiest place at Springwatch...
... and here it is on the outside
The satellite dishes ready to beam live pictures from the nest cams across the internet
It's a long way from the production village to the studio...
The mini-cam and electrian teams set off to rig a nest camera
I'll post some more pics next week, when the rest of the team, the presenters and a load more trucks will be there.

We holidayed in Norfolk with the children last year - in part to call in at Pensthorpe while Springwatch was there. There was evidence of Springwatch everywhere at Pensthorpe and it greatly added to our visit seeing the river cams, studio etc. As luck would have it we will be on holiday on the Llyn peninsular at the same time of broadcast and Ynys-hir is only a drive away.
